Si?
Don't know about you Bert, but I perceive myself as separate from the rest of the physical universe. Unless you are a Jungian, I assume that you would, too.
In fact, I find the universe surprisingly indifferent to me. If I stand in front of a speeding train, no matter how much I will it, I know it will run me over. I don't think the universe was created just for my contemplation, or is some other sense merges me into some kind of collective consciousness. Humans seem to be just like any other organism on this planet - busy exploiting their environment to allow them to survive and reproduce. I can't see any unequivocal evidence of a masterplan or master designer.
From what I can see we are all the remnants and wreckage from a rather large explosive event....some time ago.
I am going to go away now before the moderators come along and beat me up for being off topic.
