Theory of Life: Why Humans Exist
It has been noted that dinosaurs roamed the earth for several hundred million
years. Their disappearance has been attributed to many occurrences ranging
from an asteroid striking the earth to disease. However, I firmly believe
that they became extinct due to global cooling. This derived from a flaw in
the earth's ecology whereby significant carbon was irreversibly lost by
sinking to the bottom of swamps and river deltas. The earth, possessing some
kind of crude conscienceness, eventually recognized this, but too late to
save the dinosaurs. To rectify the oversight, natural selection was evoked
to evolve intelligent, hairless creatures (us) who would be cold in the
carbon depleted environment. They would be compelled to dig up all of the
lost carbon (coal, oil, gas) and burn it, thus returning the atmosphere to
its natural greenhouse state. Once the job is complete, we will be able to
remove ourselves (nuclear holocaust?) and make room for the return of
dinosaurs.
