This - in the immortal words of Monthy Python - makes you feel a sort of insignificant. Please look at the baby blue bar representing the window of life on earth. Keep in mind that the time scale is logaritmic.

I see no reference to Noah's Ark and a flood that wiped out all life.
You'd think that would have gotten a footnote or something.
Now we've found traces of methane on another planet in another solar system.
THAT MUST HAVE BEEN ONE HELL OF A FLOOD TO REACH THAT PLANET TOO!!
Hey, I love and hate stuff like this!
I want to be important!!!
Not some highly evolved bacteria that got lucky enough to live on a water moistened speck of rock orbiting a star that just happens to be not too close and not too far away.

Yeah, I know exactly what you mean. But we've got to face it: we are but farts by the river of oblivion.

Not even farts, really. More like leptons. Or nano-leptons. Or midget children of nano-leptons caught in a giant matrix of star clusters and galaxies. And what is it doing? Is it helping us? No, expanding to nothing. WE LOSE. Evolution = epic fail.

Im more than nano-lepton, I know I am, at least, I think I must be.
Enough of that, I must keep as cool as I can.
And keep on thinking free.
I also like, usually comics or cartoon animation does this well, starting with a close up of an atom with several electrons flying around and then pulling back more to a sun with several planets flying around and then pulling back more to a galaxy with stars flying around and then pulling back more to galaxy clusters with galaxies flying around and then pulling back more to.......and atom with electrons flying around.
It's like a grand circle of existence.

Meh, I know I am important. And anyone who thinks differently can bite my left butt cheek.

Unlike the right, which is protected by some sort of Word of Warding?

"Resistance is fertile. You will be ass-laminated."
Isn't that how the quote goes?
Turn the other cheek and give in!
