		<description>&#62;&#62;&#62; Unfortunately, for as many good things as human beings do - we do many more bad things.

The fact that you can parse good&#124;bad shows that you "care".
The fact that you "care" shows that there is a explicit function in universe.humans.emotions that makes us more than "primates."
The fact that we are the only primates that can create abstract objects (i.e. not limited to universe.primates.humans, such as universe.entertainment or universe.weapons, etc) should, at least, suggest that we were created by a class (i.e. "higher power") that can create other abstract objects?

&#62;&#62;&#62; A quote
&#62;&#62;&#62; 
&#62;&#62;&#62; I think computer viruses should count as life. I think it says something about human nature that the only form of life we have created so far is purely destructive. We’ve created life in our own image.
&#62;&#62;&#62; - Stephen Hawking

Again, I say.  We are the only other creators of abstract objects in universe.earth...  ;-)</description>

		<description>&#62;&#62;&#62; Rather, Evolution cares only for creation.

Evolution has no "cares". It just is.

&#62;&#62;&#62; This is why Evolution created brains — to help it create.

Evolution doesn't favor braininess. The reason we are "here" is isn't that we had a superior brain. 

Our lucky break was probably the gigantic astroid that hit earth about 65 million years ago
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cretaceous%E2%80%93Tertiary_extinction_event

And we eventually became the favored (or perhaps cursed) primate. 

There is no "reason" the dinosaurs died off. But they did. Evolution just is.

&#62;&#62;&#62; The good hacker is one that conceptualizes and then creates. The good hacker does Evolution’s work with diligence because a good hacker knows Evolution’s work and their work is one in the same.

Unfortunately, for as many good things as human beings do - we  do many more bad things.
