Are you familiar with the child's philosophical discussion,'If a tree falls in the forest and there is no one around to hear it, does it make a sound?'
The universe exists with or without us. While we can perceive a portion of the universe, our viewpoint is so distorted by the type of beings we are.....we are imperfect, with thoughts affected by exhaustion, emotion, hormones that affect our perception.
We, as humans can only perceive, through our senses a very small portion of the universe. We are no different than a foraging ant on a picnic in a park. Just as the ant sees the slice of bread he is crawling on, yet the ant cannot comprehend the social implications and rationale behind a 'picnic'; we as limited humans cannot grasp the true nature of the universe.
