Man is greater....by far (because he is not an animal).

Why not if there we are just like them as you put it?

If man is just the product of matter/energy/chance then what is man to be blamed for? We could destroy each other and the planet and it seems to me that a consistent atheistic position would be "so what?" So while I agree that man is not "blameless" from my worldview, I wonder why with your atheistic worldview you would make such a moral judgement. It seems like you are borrowing from a theistic worldview to make/support such a moral judgement.
