That is not an intelligent question. Man is not the crux of the universe and the universe will be here long after all traces of the human species are gone.

The question should be, if man exists in the universe, who cares? Earth is a very small thing.

I'm gonna try to be polite, but I'm gonna fail. This question is just as dumb as the tree falls in the forest question. Observation is not necessary for things to exist or events to occur. If a tree falls in a forest and there's an atmosphere for sound waves to travel in, it makes a fucking sound. If the universe exists, it doesn't need a human to do so. And you can't answer whether the glass is half full or half empty with any accuracy until you knew the prior state of the glass... filled completely then emptied half way... half empty. Empty and filled half way... half full. Another idiotic question! Soap-bubble profundity is a waste of cognitive energies! You want to spark intelligent discussion about the vagaries of the universe? Ask why a particle behaves differently when it is being observed!

Sorry. This is one of my buttons. I'm not always a dick. Just right now. I'll probably be nicer the next time I answer a post you make lol

Are you assuming we are the only sentient species? That we live on the only planet with life?

It's hard to believe that in a universe of almost infinite proportions, a single species inhabiting a tiny planet in an infinitesimal solar system in the outer reaches on an unspectacular galaxy is the whole point of existence.

If a man doesn't exist the universe knows not of him because there is no him to know.

Well, according to quantum physics, nothing exists that isn't imagined first. So in that dimension, the universe doesn't exist.

Your entire life is an ILLUSION ..nothing exists until it's observed. [dailymail.co.uk]

I was watching a video on Curiosity Stream called 'The Secrets of Quantum Physics'. In the first episode the narrator talks about how Enstein's perception of reality and Niels Bohr's theory were able to be tested. To make a long complicated story short, Einstein's theory was proven wrong. What this means is - and hold on to your hats here - reality is only perceived when being measured. In other words, the moon doesn't exist unless you're looking at it. WOW! If you don't subscribe to Curiosity Stream, I highly recommend it. If you do, I highly recommend this series of Quantum Physics. It's completely facinating.

Somebody typed that question on a keyboard of a computer and uploaded to this website or I wouldn't be reading it. I would say he exists which makes the question nonsensical.

If I don't exist and I can't observe anything, then nothing exists. At least to me. Right now I exist. I know this because I am observing. To me, the million dollar question that will probably never be answered is, "After I "die" (if I ever will - maybe it's all just programmed to make it feel like I die and stop observing), will a new me exist somewhere else?". Do I reemerge somewhere else with no knowledge of my past observations and start to ask the same questions getting the same non answers? Lol

Oh and where the hell do we "go" when we sleep?

No

Point 1; man does exist . Point 2; the universe exists, point 3; evolution and creationism have never crossed paths, they are just different opinions point 4; really, ? You are miss quoting

indeed

It doesn't for the man who does not exist. That would imply that even to a non-existent god(s), the universe does not exist.

Evidence suggests that it would exist and it will go on when our existence sees its end.

As of now they’re 29 comments plus one that pretty much prove consciousness is doin it’s thang...

Yes it does, we are not the reason for the existence of the universe.

Conversely though

The universe may be as great as they say,
but it wouldn't be missed if it didn't exist

So the lady's comment about quantum physics on curiosity stream about what is "real" and how something IS "REAL" only when it can be quantifiably measured... Begs the question of witness to whatever the measurement of measured is. I mean, if it is only me who is witness to a unbelievable event and I study it, categorize it, test it over and over and it proves my theory, therefore proves it's existence..... does it mean just because I can't see the moon in Colorado it can't be there in Virginia. I call up (alleged) father just to check on moon validity daily.

the women say it does

What is the proof of existence, other than each individuals perception of it. PS don't quote others, what do you think? Am I real or am I fabricated by you.

The concept of object permanence usually develops in humans around age three. This is the sense that things are there whether or not one is there to observe it.

You only exist right here, right now as I type this. You go, I go. I die, you die. When I die. EVERYTHING else dies.
