What makes humans so special?

We Never Know

No Slack
When God created humans, he created the most destructive and killing species that has ever existed.

We kill, destroy, pollute, drive species to extinction, destroy habitats, etc more than any other species that ever existed.

For example.... We have killed many more millions of humans than the covid virus but think nothing of it.

Why would an all knowing God create something he knew would be so deadly and destructive?

Just about every species does that. We are no more or less special in that regard.

People are in an important way the sum of all other life forms. There are people who are "snakes in the grass", "friendly like dogs", "cat like" and so forth.

As far as destructive goes, here's 10 animals with people as #10 10 Animals That Are Bad for the Environment

Humans have the potential, often unrealized, of rising above our destructive animal natures. Some succeed. Many fail. But to me it's the next step in human evolution

Ah but are they really as bad for the environment as us... Or bad for us?

How much plastic do they discard?
How much garbage to they bury in landfills?
How much fossil fuels do they burn?
How many species do they kill to extinction?
How many habitats do they complety destroy?

Many of these are invasive species that hoped rides or were introduced into the ecosystem by humans or their activities.

Human stupidity, short sightedness and inventiveness has provided us with the ability to be more destructive. No doubt about that.

How many species do they kill to extinction?

How many species over the history of life on Earth are extinct. Some no doubt were caused to become extinct by other animals.

How many habitats do they complety destroy?

How many? Another "we're worse". But it does happen.

We may be destructive but we are also the only known species capable to travel to space and preserve life beyond the red giant phase of the sun.

Name one other species that pollutes the land as much as us.
That causes extinction of other species as much as us.
That pollutes the air as much as us.
That destroyers habitats world wide as much as us.
That kills for fun/sport as much as us.
That pollutes the water as much as us.

That...

And go!

Capable isn't the same as doing.
What other planet can support life?
I said space, not planet. But there are planets out there and some moons that can possibly be terraformed, especially with increased solar output.
And we are travelling space, in baby steps but we have a few years left until earth becomes inhabitable. (Except we are doing it ourselves.)

Ok. What other point in "space" can support life.
