The eternal universe. The universe is eternal. What some call the Big Bang was not the beginning of everything: our observable universe came into existence as a very small part of a larger, eternal universe.
Life without a designer. There is no intelligent designer. Life arose naturally from the universe's own rules, and intelligence first appeared on Earth in us.
The universe becomes intelligent. Humans are the point where the universe became intelligent: the first of God's mind on Earth. Evolution continues, and its next step is ours to direct, through our descendants, our ideas and mastery of the machine.
We are not alone. We are not unique. The opportunity of intelligence is offered to other forms of life throughout the universe.
The opportunity. If we are good enough, we can work to continue our existence forever. This is the opportunity presented to us: to live forever in the universe as a species, while each of us lives on through our descendants and our ideas. The other opportunity is to become God's mind: gods roaming the universe.
The most adaptable survive. Other life may have the same opportunity, but by the laws of nature the most adaptable survive. We must prove ourselves the most adaptable, so that we continue long past the eventual destruction of Earth.
