Which isn’t to say that a person who has determined that life has no consequences providentially, or supernaturally (an atheist, for example), cannot also regard the human condition as special, or remarkable, for indeed that person can, but only that the evidence to which they will look for that specialness, or by which they will arrive at that conclusion, confines itself to the premise that the sophistication of our being, delivered to us by the processes of evolution, finds its end in evolution, and is not indicative of anything more than a momentum that is solely and absolutely explicable.
