Really? You do know that there is not only intra but also inter species competition between organisms. We are a social species and consciences contribute to our inter-species survival.

Kind of a funny question. Suppose that you have a soul and it exists independent from your body, how does that make you more valuable than a tree? Suppose a sentient being created you. How does that make you more valuable than a tree created by the same sentient being?
Your self-worth comes from self regardless of what made you or what you are.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
