[MD] A meaningful cosmos?

[David M]

Hi Krim

Problem is, is meaning for us limited in this way?
Has philosophy or religion ever been so limited?
What was the point of inventing god if not to turn
the question around the other way and ask on behalf
of god or the whole cosmos? mankind do you have any value?
