I'll hold to the minority view, then, I guess. I believe that all things have a Purpose, a central will that guides the Universe and in that Universe, mankind itself is a unique expression of that Will. We are, as a race, a people, a planet, very special - in that we serve the Divine, and thus, the Universe - and has a special destiny that awaits us among the stars.
For those people who believe in coincidence and chance, I don't denounce their makeshift religion, but I find it too convenient and simple a belief to wholeheartedly put blind faith in it without hard evidence.

Though we are not now
That strength that in old days
Moved Earth and Heaven;
That which we are, we are:
One equal temper of heroic hearts
Made weak by time and flesh
But strong in will
To seek, to strive, to find
And not to yield.
-Alfred, Lord Tennyson
