I must admit, I only read through the last pages here. However, I don't really see what the matter of discussion is.
With the "right" definition of "dominate", I think I can agree that we humans "dominate" the world. But then, how can this be proof for the existence of a god (or a similar being)? Just that one species evolved a bit further - or better say, in a specific direction - is no proof at all. It's highly probable by the rules of evolution! No need for god.
It is true, that something special is going on on earth when compared to other planets. But this can all be linked to the conditions here on earth, which are a consequence of our position in the solar system. That these things happened somewhere in the universe is highly likely anyway - no need for a god for sure.
If for example the dolphins would have evolved further, they would maybe also make up religions (maybe they even do) and think they are the chosen ones.
So, I think there is no need discussing the "specialness" of mankind as it is not linked to the existence of a god at all.
