Well, pete, it's worth bearing in mind a quote from the great American scholar and anthropologist, Jared Diamond i.e.:

"Elimination of lots of lousy little species regularly causes big harmful consequences for humans, just as does randomly knocking out many of the lousy little rivets holding together an airplane."

You see, nothing is superior to anything else and everything is interdependent. That doesn't stop 'god-fearing' 'superior' human beings from trashing the world around them and endlessly knocking out thousands of "lousy little rivets". One day soon the airplane is going to come crashing down and there will be no one left to fear God!
