Animal morality: are humans merely animals?

[Lizra]

Rian, you say.."But my point had nothing to do with how your son got here, or how creation got here. My point was that if one thing is better suited to take care of another thing, that needs care, for WHATEVER reason, than it is only logical that the one that is better suited to take care of the other should do so, and it has nothing to do with being conceited. It's merely a fact."

I don't think humans are better suited to take care of everything else. I don't think everything else needs human care. But...... parents are suited to take care of their own children, and young children do need care. Apples/oranges. It is believable that some humans might think they are better than everything else, and also believe it is only *logical* that they then are entitled to *care* for everything else as they see fit, but it is in no way a fact.

I guess I see choosing to believe that god made humans a higher order is perhaps rather....you know...the "N" word.
