I just want to point out that ours is the only species that we know of that can do those things.

It's pure hubris to think that we're the only ones in billions on billions of stars with potentially more than 10x that many planets in the universe that has sapience sufficient to ask the questions. Statistics says it's extremely unlikely that humans are the only sapient life in the universe.
