Other animals have also developed some level of self awareness. Bottlenosed Dolphins for example. That's not to say he doesn't care about animals that haven't developed self awareness. I'm sure animals that haven't developed much awareness at all go to heaven too (not parasites or mosquitoes though. Fuck mosquitoes. I'm sure God hates them. They're fucking terrible.) All the animals that aren't pests go to heaven too. So humans are by no means special imo.
I think of Earth as the Beta. Everything in this world is just the test. Not like a test of if you're good or bad, but a test to see if creations are 'beneficial' or 'harmful'. Lions, dogs, cats, etc... they are beneficial. Mosquitoes, parasites, they're harmful. Heaven is the final product.
You've given a short shrift to the things you see as horrible. In this world, the real world, they're important - useful...even required. It's only in a fantasy land with magical beings that things like bugs, fungus, bacteria, and viruses become a bit difficult to square away. Ever wonder whether (or why) you and "god" have the same list of -final products-? Truth be told, if this is the beta - we're loosing to beetles and botflies by a wide margin. Maybe they're on the list and we aren't......that would certainly explain the botflies......
All creatures are -both- beneficial and harmful. It's a simple matter of perspective.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
