Excellent perspectives!
No doubt Human species are special and privileged species on the planet, and human grandiosity comes from that special status. Also, human species are the most destructive animals in the nature. They need modification/destruction of the nature around them to survive. In my view, this trait of human beings may have brought the demise of ancestors before us over the millennium.
This brings my childhood memory. As a child, I used to go to the plantation fields, with other workers, for fun. While digging to prepare the soil, I used to find items like broken potteries, dolls, etc. under the ground, and ask my father where those people have gone. My father would say - they all died in a viral plague. This was the myth; actually - nobody knows, for sure, how long those plots have been vacant. All I could learn from some 100+ years old people in the area that – anybody has been living there within their lifetimes. But, there were people once upon a time.
Anyway, the lesson is – when the existing human species perish, for whatever reason, nature will start a new cycle out of the surviving bacteria, perhaps in the water. OR, a new chemical reaction, triggered by an electrical spark from the sky, will form a new ribonucleic acid inside a pool of water someday to initiate a life-form on the planet again, if nature and environment still survive. In case environment gets destroyed as well, earth will become a barren land, just like the neighboring planets, such as Mars. Can this really happen? Sure, since probability is non-zero. How about Heaven and Hell? Forget it! No human being, no Heaven and Hell.

Subject: [mukto-mona] History of our World
Four basic forces of nature (Gravity, Electro-magnetic force, strong nuclear force and weak nuclear force) govern the entire universe. When there is a crack in the roof or the pillars of buildings are weak, the entire building will collapse by the force of Gravity- causing death and destruction as we witnessed in Savar Tragedy! Gravity does not care who or how many people are inside the building! Force of Gravity is always in action with no exception!
"If we imagine that the entire 14 billion years of history of our universe is 14 years, so that each year represents one billion years of Earth's history. In this analogy,
a) Our Earth was formed 5 years ago.
b) Single cell bacteria - evolved in the ocean within 3 days of its formation.
c) Large complex animals - evolved 7 months ago; they are extinct 3 weeks ago.
d) Humans - evolved only 3 minutes ago!
e) Our entire history of modern industrialization i- only 6 second old!
f) Religions came along with Imperialism hand on hand - 4 second ago
g) 99.99% of all species that once roamed in this earth are extinct. We are now one of the 1.7 million living specie on Earth. Even only 35,000 years ago, at least two different species of Humans coexisted. Now we are "ALONE", only survivors waiting to be extinct! We are nothing but a speck in this grand scale of deep time"! It is only the "Bacteria" that exists the entire "TIME" on history of lives on Earth."
In spite of all these evidenced based knowledge we know today, Humans are very grandiose in thinking that they are very "SPECIAL"! Billions of people are very comfortable in thinking that every incidence that happens around us and every thing that has been created are to serve the purpose of Humans! They are utterly convinced that their wishes and prayers can change the course of law of nature (miracle) and save them from evil and misfortune (theist point of view)!
"This documentary is the story of humankind, from the very beginning of time: from the birth of the Universe and Earth, to the dawn of life, from the fall of the dinosaurs to the rise of man, from the Stone Age to Silicon Valley. Each beat in the story will reveal a surprising connection to our world today.
Our modern world holds surprising clues to the distant past. This documentary demonstrates that all life forms are descended from the lowly bacteria, and shows that if not for grass, the primates would never have climbed down from the trees and learned to walk upright. The Great Pyramids were built with material made from 50 million-year-old seashells left behind when modern-day Egypt was submerged beneath the sea. All the dots are connected: from donkeys that made trade possible to the spread of disease and religion, from the invention of gun powder to today's political landscape".
