The Question (Page #3, Question #2):

“How can we have meaning in life? When we die we are really dead; nothing of us survives.  Natural selection is a process leading every species almost certainly to extinction and “cares” as much for the HIV virus as for humans.  Nothing could be more uncaring than the entire process of organic evolution.”-William Provine, PhD
