Human beings are so important!

Can you name any other beings able to do that?

A mute point since we cannot as of yet escape a star going nova.
We are important because we are the only ones capable of reaching that. Besides...we can leave the solar system.

Perhaps we could leave our solar system. That would be part of solving the problem. Up until we can solve that problem in practice then we are just another species trapped in a doomed Solar system. If humans as a species die in a nova event then we are equals with all of the other species that died with us. We have a long way to go before we rise above our co-inhabitants of this solar system. After all many humans still believe in folktales about mythical creatures and magical superbeings. And those primitives that need to think that one species is more important because of their luck with evolutionary advancements.

But it is most likely that humans will be long gone before the sun goes nova. Perhaps the species that evolve after us will step up and save the solar system from its eventual doom?
 
Elon Musk recently tweeted this video and stated "the universe is really, really big". I think of the first chapter of the Book of Moses when watching this video.

You thought of a guy who couldn't even properly navigate a desert? If you can't navigate a desert, the universe would probably be a bit worse.

If it takes you forty years to cross a desert chances are you're doing it wrong.

"Our eyes may be looking at this moment upon the spot
where lies the mysterious grave of Moses! Think of it, Jack!"
"Moses who?"
" Moses who? Jack, you ought to be ashmed of yourself, you ought
to be ashamed of such criminal ignorance. Why, Moses, the great guide,
soldier, poet, lawgiver of ancient Israel! Jack, from this spot where we stand, to Egypt, stretches a fearful desert three hundred miles in extent and across that desert that wonderful man brought the children of Israel with unfailing sagacity for forty years over the sandy desolation and among the obstructing rocks and hills and landed them at last, safe and sound, within sight of this very spot; and where we now stand they entered the Promised Land with anthems of rejoicing! It was a wonderful thing to do, Jack. Think of it!"
"Forty years? Only three hundred miles? Humph! Ben Holliday would have fetched
them through in thirty-six hours!"-Mark Twian, The Innocents Abroad.

I said it reminded me of the first chapter of the Book of Moses.

Moses was shown we are not alone in the universe, that there are earths like this with inhabitants on it at such a large scale that we as mortal men cannot number them:


"35 But only an account of this earth, and the inhabitants thereof, give I unto you. For behold, there are many worlds that have passed away by the word of my power. And there are many that now stand, and innumerable are they unto man; but all things are numbered unto me, for they are mine and I know them."
 
please not every human being is that important

I do not recognize that quote so where does that quote come from?

And the number "35" tells and references nothing.

Most of humanity makes their self as irrelevant as the people throw away their true power and waste their abilities and they embrace weakness as if being a nobody were some kind of virtue - and so they live and die that way.

For now humans are immature and embryonic so the importance of each individual is just hard to see in this world.

I have no idea what that means, and you seem to know the thoughts of every atheist in the world. How do you do that?

In the old Star Trek series Captian Kirk often accepted people with plasticine on their heads as beings from other planets.
