Comments: "We have come to the wrong star."
This is a very important insight.
If human beings truly emerged from a meaningless process of chance variation and natural selection, we would expect to be fully of this world, completely at home in it, and very well satisfied with it.
The fact that we experience the world as imperfect, wrong, and lacking in so many ways, the fact that we have a sense of tragedy, demonstrates that we are not fully of this world, that our lives partake of a dimension that is other and beyond it.

It's God's world. We're just living in it.
Lay not up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust does corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust does corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Matthew 6:18-21
