May I frame the discussion in terms that make sense to a skilled artist ...

We live in a highly advanced, innovative, technological society. Legislated laws permit us the freedom to explore theories and philosophy in all their glory. Our science permits us to connect with others and argue points of contention. We do so from the safety of constructed domiciles, that represent creative expression in engineering, design and sculpture.

These domiciles house us and our technology, along with our theories and philosophy; all of which is an essential component to a symbiotic societal life cycle. The societal life cycle is one of the miracles of the human condition.

And yet, what is the relative worth of this miracle? Even, what is the worth of one human in earthly terms?

Mother nature regularly reminds us of our worth ... in one sweeping capricious stroke of natural forces our societies and all of their knowledge, theories, technology are removed from the face of the planet. The miracle that is man and the human condition is no more.

Knowledge of evolution and natural selection as now taught and understood offer nothing to stave off our own elimination. These 'good' theories ultimately are worthless.
