Your premise is false. Modern man is merely the end-result of the evolution of earlier ancestors over a period of time. We simply utilize the capacity to reason instead of relying upon physical traits, in the manner of all other species, for our survival. Due to this, we, as humans, tend to BELIEVE that we are "special" in the eyes of some supernatural entity.

thrown to this world as opposed to what? living in some other state of being? if there, i would imagine the human mind, some of them, would be imagining a different place
the world has opportunity for great good and pleasant things, and yes there are some bad, the majority of the bad i feel are man made, with a few being natural
and there are many good man made and natural things,
here on earth there is much that is under individual control, and "human" control,

This is a pretty nice world. I dare say it is a paradise. It's the inherent unfairness of man's self rule that is the problem. I think that is one of many lessons to be learned in this life.
We get all serious about this life, the trials and tribulations. What if in the greater scheme of things it just isn't that serious. What if we are just being like teenagers getting all melodramatic about childish things and in the next life we look back at the way we were here and just giggle in embarrassment at how serious and greedy we were.

And the Old Man with the pen,
Who has kindly writ us in,
Drew Christ and Satan from the selfsame quill.
He reminds me of that fellow,
Gave Iago to Othello.
I love Him not too wisely but too well.
And so I stand in awe,
At the perfection of the flaw,
And cherish light and dark without a strain.
It doesn't take a sage
To know that all the world's a stage.
I think, therefore I am…
...to entertain.

My friend, man is responsible for this world. God gave man dominion and man gave dominion over to Satan, now called the 'god' of this world (2 Corinthians 4:4)
Our loving Father wanted beings who could choose to love Him or not. He knew we would mess up the plan, and He created a perfect redemption plan for each of us.
Remember that God instilled in us our concept of justice, and that He IS justice. We all fall short of God's perfect standard, so it would be unfair to allow imperfect into a perfect God and still call God perfect. But God had a plan: the Son came here to earth, humbly lived this perfect standard, then chose to give his life as a spotless lamb, to sacrifice for our sin, but death could not hold Jesus, because He had no sin, and without sin there is no death!!!!!!!
Once we have received the gift of righteousness by trusting in Jesus Christ as Savior, We are a manifestation of His love, along with His eternal life, right here in this temporary life!!
Don't take my word for it, read the Bible and ask Him to reveal Himself to YOU!
I know lots of Christians and people who say they are Christians are not great examples of this truth, but a lousy driver can make the best car look bad, right? God is willing for all of us to come, no matter what.
God bless

God made the world for man, so He put us here. The hardships of the world is brought about by man himself - we have the gift of freedom, from God, that we sometimes abuse it.
I got this quote from a friend:
"A man was asked, 'How can you believe in God when the world has many problems?' The man replied, 'With all these problems, how can you possible make it without God?'"

The begotten son of God came to this world to show His love to the creatures. Remember, He created human and the world. He gave us the freedom of choice to choose between good and evil. He came to the world to save mankind and to set an example.

So that we can have the sensation of loving HIM in return.
This world put us in the context to serve and suffer in his name. This way we can have the chance to make manifest that we are also capable of gratitude and love towards the creator.

Man choose to be willful and disobedient. Look around- it's natural for people to reject authority regardless of whether it's good or bad. Even little children have a natural instinct to disobey, and then later in life, to rebel.
Why are we in this world instead of just wiped out? I think God is giving us a chance to find Him.
