To further clarify you are meaning to say something akin to:
"All life comes from God and thus God reveres human life more than all other life"
or
"All life comes from God and thus humans revere human life more than all other life"
Further, is it the conjunction of "coming from God" and "reverence" (from whichever source you cite) that equate to something's sanctity? Or do you consider anything that "comes from God" sacred?
The second one. (at least more than other life on earth, not necessarily more than all life, since we don't know what else is out there)
Anything that comes from God is sacred, but He dictates their level of sacredness. A human life is more sacred than that of a flea, for example.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
