To All God's Children,
-->“The arrogant animal” as one University of Iowa professor refers to humans because we believe we are unique and different from other animals. The assumption is that human beings are somehow separate from nature and better than other animals. Is it because we are self-aware and can invent things by use of our opposable thumbs? If anything we are a natural disaster.
If we say that mother nature creates tornadoes and hurricanes that ravage our cities and kill us then we are doing the same to mother nature. If she is considered a “natural disaster” because she can kill us and destroy our “civilization” then we are in turn also a natural disaster because we can cause things like global warming which is damaging the earth.
If you don’t believe in global warming then you must believe in the trees that are being cut down in mass proportions or at least the sudden increase in animal species that are going extinct. We are just as natural as a hurricane or a tornado and we cause a great deal of harm because of it.
