I think we are plenty as is, and as for why bother to make the universe do our bidding - because there's great pleasure satisfaction and
fulfillment in bending cold indifferent nature to our will...not to mention in enjoying a hot cup of cocoa, a good book, and a long slow blowjob by the fireplace on a dark wintry night
If you have not seen the Les Blank documentary Always For Pleasure, I highly recommend it
