Worms don't have that right because they are inferior organisms. Survival of the fittest means that humans are superior to other organisms. Worms are insignificant and I can kill them simply because I can. Our ethics has stopped us killing annoying species. > Indeed, > Humans themselves are only an accident of Nature; with our 70 vestigial > parts, we are a defective organism, and our disproportionate cerebral > cortex, based on primitive instincts, almost guarantees our extinction in a > decade or so. WTF are you talking about? Disproportionate cerebral cortex?? Our cerebrum is what makes us superior than other species. The best invention of nature. Our capacity to adapt to environment is what makes is different from other animals. I'm not saying humans stay forever, but certainly for a very very long time. > "God" himself has evolved - from (1) primitive Naturism, through > (2) Animism, to > (3) Polytheism (when gods and goddesses thrived); declining to - > (4) Monotheism, as a result of the "jealous god" tribal deity, to > (5) Atheism of recent times. > All gods and goddesses are memory projections of our feared authoritarian > ancestors (tribal elders), with "God" being an attenuated, magnified, image, > imposed on the cosmos. Nice story, but God is irrelevant to evolution. Non-matter (nothing) can't evolve.
