Why? This seems like a religious statement ("man was created in the image of god" and therefore needs to be the apex of creation). What makes us more important than the rest of nature? What makes us think that we're somehow separate from nature?
- Dylan16807 5y agoThere's an implicit "if we want to keep living with nature, or indeed at all". That's the why. If you don't agree, oh well. Most people think that's a key motivation though. It doesn't necessarily make us more important or separate.
