If you could go back in time, would you choose this moment, almost 2 billion years ago, to go back to?  I doubt you would, but it can be considered the most important event that occurred in the history of histories.  That single act precipitated a chain of events billions of years in the making, the repercussions of which will be felt until we find a way to destroy the planet once and for all (or until the sun explodes and nothing survives the intense heat 5 billion years from now, or all the water evaporates in about a billion years).  
The end result of that chance event? As of right now - these words that you are reading, typed by a semi-intelligent sentient being on Planet Earth.
