Martin Heidegger writes that “Being” arrived at understanding in man. For him, “Being” comports itself understandingly only in the Dasein. This means that the cosmic landscape was endowed and became electrified with meaning, and significance, when evolution reached what Teilhard de Chardin called its omega point, with the arrival of man on the scene. This is to say that the whole of creation would have been a timeless expanse of meaninglessness without the human being. This may well account for Protagoras’s assertion in 450 BC, that Man is the measure of all things-Homo omnia mensura.Or pantwn crhmatwn metron estin anqrwpoV, when he wasn't asserting in Latin.
