I think it's supremely arrogant to believe that we are the pinnacle of 'creation'. We are a relatively new species, imagine what we could be like if he had been around as long as sharks. And imagine life on other planets. We are only as smart as we need to be, that's one of the ways evolution works. We aren't good with really small things, we can't actually imagine or conceive an atom. And we aren't really good with large things, we can't really imagine or conceive the size of our country, let alone our planet, let alone our solar system, let alone our galaxy, let alone our universe. Imagine a creature that could really comprehend the size of the universe.
