All things are subject to interpretation, whichever interpretation prevails at a given time is a function of power and not truth.

I think that we are actually the lowest form of........whatever
My point is that we destroy natures true beauty, but without us, the world would stay the same after millennia*.

The criteria that we judge on changes from person to person. A murderer is worth more than a doctor if they kill someone like Hitler.



*what is the plural form of millennium?

I thought my sarcasm was too blatantly obvious to be lost on anyone


Oh I don't care about prevailing interpretation. My values are objectively right because they were revealed to me by the creator of the universe, in whose nature objective values are ingrained.

BOOM. PWND.

Well, I guess that's that then!

Why would that be bad? Also it would change, it has changed and is changing all of the time regardless of us.

Without us, the world wouldn't be full of trash and polution.
Although, I didn't forget about the tree huggers.
They try their best to keep our home clean.
But, yea, even the people who trash the place have the same amount of value that a tree hugger has because we are all human.

Nope.

We act and then justify. If the masses of society like what we did, then it is deemed ok.

Actually we are no different from animals...

Thinks of it this way. Why do deer, gorillas, ect fight each other... for power.

Not only if we were not the prime species, it would be all the same. Think about it...

I think we are all worth the same value, people kill innocent cockroaches looking for a meal. Why don't we just kill our parents when they get some food. Its because we don't think how they feel, we just think "There is 30million more cockroaches, what's the matter if i kill one''. And we don't kill other humans because ''apparently'' we are the upper species and when we kill we get jailed.
Just think if you were the cockroach :s

Humans are superior. So much so that in a handful of millenia we became the only species everywhere (or the cause for certain species being everywhere, roaches etc) and in less than a handful of centuries we practically destroyed anything made by nature and converted it into things that will help our species. Oh and all of that with moral taboos stepping on our shit every 100 or so years periodically. We saw the world from the viewpoint of space, and constructed buildings that can pass any work of nature in size, soon we will not even have to tap onto nature's limited resources or have a lifespan. The fact that we are constantly 1upping ourselves makes us a superior kind to the giraffe or salmon, and green leaves or tribes of gorillas will not change that fact.
