I'm not saying it can't be correct, I'm saying that is a philosophical problem. If humans aren't neccesary, then human morality can't be neccesary either, that's what I'm saying. And I'm not saying that humans are neccesary, I'm saying that we aren't neccesary because we are the product of evolution. You actually seem to understand the argument I'm making pretty well, but you don't seem to have any notion of it's significance. I mean,

this is a remarkably terrible thing to say. How can you justify any human morality if you don't even think that human existence has any value? And if you do think human existence has value, then why do you think it would better if we didn't exist? Wait, I'm curious, are you against the death penalty by any chance? Or against the Iraq war? I'm curious about how you come up with reasons to treat other people with dignity or respect other peoples' right to live.
