We merely have DIFFERENT ADAPTATIONS.
Cockroaches and bacteria cannot write Shakespeare or build a nuke, no, but they damned sure outnumber humans and have been around far longer.
I'd only agree that if HUMANS pick the right path, and stop our tribalism view, we can delay our finite ride and extend it. But it is still finite.
Screaming doesn’t lend weight to any argument of any type, especially ones based on aesthetically selected criteria.
No sorry, if you think humans are superior to all other species that makes you a narcissist.
ALL life is interconnected and as smart as we are, we depend on other life for our stability.
Our species "adaptation" is that we have more complex brains and language. BUT that does not make it a given in 100% of the time that our species will use that adaptation to the advantage of our planet. We far too often use our cleverness to dominate resources and other rivals within our species. We ignore the pollution that in turn affects our own food resources.
All you are saying is that we have more developed brains, that DOES NOT MEAN, nor has ever meant we use those brains to do the right thing.
Nor does it mean any life for that matter will continue on earth after the sun dies billions of years from now.
Solve the problem of the death of our sun, then I will call you a God.
