What difference does it make if existence really exists with our without us?
So long as you are here, you better believe it does.

On the other hand, you might take the fear mongers of global warming
seriously
and decide to end it all before the apocalypse. So far as I know, man is the
only
organism that can choose to end its own existence, an ability that makes one
wonder what its evolutionary advantage could be. Just another question for
the
Darwinian priesthood.

But I digress.
