Mark X,
Huh I don't get it? Any humans are basically new even to earth. Even if humans did not ever come to be, earth will still flourish. In fact, it would of been better off.

Anyway, I don't think we are important. Too many times people find that out the hard way. After you are dead, your body is just an object to be dealt with.

Very insignificant on a universal scale, but very significant on a spiritual scale.

The viewable universe might be a very tiny part of the whole universe.
If the number of galaxies are more than the number of every grand of sand at every beaches of the earth, than imagin how insignificant we are.

In the context of the entire universe, humans are the MOST significant. It took the entire universe to support the complex life form of humans.., and still does.
If not, why is everyone so concerned about a "greenhouse effect"?
Uni-verse = One-song..., it is ALL for one purpose.., to support God's creation of humans: spirit, soul & body.

That depends individually, on whether or not you believe our nature, or our soul etc., is eternal, or merely transitory; and secondly, whether or not there is a God, and how incomprehensible That Reality is...
As far as communally as a species is concerned...
Dirt is longer lasting than our body's particularly human composition, and more abundant, so materially we are very insignificant, except our mind demonstrates our ability to increasingly manipulate disproportionately large amounts of it, and other forces, to our own means,(and detriment).
Materially, animals are potentially innately superior in senses, strength etc., while humans are capable of learning which transcend our innate material bodies, in comparison to other animal's forms. That learning progresses generationally, and, as far as we know, we are far from coming to the limits of that learning. So we may be very significant in cosmological scales of time not yet attained as a species.
God bless.
Edit: for those inclined to know just how big we, as a consensus, currently think the universe is. (I personally think its infinite w/innumerable life.)

The entire universe is insignificant, but for the life that is aware of its existence.

We're about as insignificant as a single amoeba sitting on top of the world.
Even if somebody knew it was there, who really cares?
