But the reason your meteor hit the pride of lions in your example is because it came too close the the earth gravity, and the lyons happen to be in that place at the time...and the reason the lyons where there is probably because the hunting is good in those parts...nothing happens with no reason because all things are connected in our reality.
The error some make is that they believe that there is a god that makes all these decisions like killing the lyons with a meteor...a very low understanding of reality in my opnion...but never the less some of the religions use it to manipulate people with...and the anti theist love it, because it re enforces their own beliefe...that it is all bullshit and everything is really just an accident, and what we see is all there is...and that too is a low understanding IMO.
No I did not mean superiour...I meant multi cellular creatures with developed nervous systems and complex brain...that is what we generally know as "higher" life forms.
But if you believe that we evolved from single cell life then we evolved with sexual reproduction just as most complex life forms do...and so that infers there was a reason in natural selection for that...that they did better because of it in some way and so evolved that way...
If the theory of evolution is real then there is reason for how we are...
