I'm not sure the other animals intelligent enough to develop a notion of a higher power would do so while we are around, considering our species seemingly absolute power over their lives. Where we at our leisure can completely change the face of the land they live in, achieve unbelievable physical feats through the control of inanimate objects and have an seemingly infinite supply of food. To any other species on this planet humans could very well be cause for lightning, the sun rising and all the rest of the things we've been attributing to the gods of thunder and his cousins. It's all magic to an unknowing observer. Although since I'm not a biologist, I reserve the right to be completely wrong in everything I just said. I'd be interested in a good and sober book on the subject of how other animals perceive us, if there is one.
