Sure, and in some churches they teach that the amount of wealth one has is the exact measure of how much favor they have with God, but you wouldn't go claiming every capitalists is a believer in Christ because of that.

People can believe that the Apex Predator and currently the only serious life form on Earth is a higher form of life than a fucking plant category that couldn't figure out how to decompose in any meaningful way for 300 million years.

    Oh wow, you're quite amazing. Tell me that you know nothing about nature without telling me that you know nothing about nature.

    "The only serious life form on earth" XD

    At this point I'll choose to believe that you're just trolling, I can't actually believe that someone would have such a moronic take. But good job, I almost fell for it.

    Let me know when any other life form manages to completely change the entire climate in less than 100 years.

    Yes exactly, let me know of a species that has degenerated so badly it is destroying itself and most of the environment that it requires to live. A lot of animals manage to alter their environment in complex ways, none is doing it as badly as humans.

    Humans are even so stupid that they are trapping themselves on earth by transforming the sky into a garbage dump (well, and everything else they can find).

    Just stop here, you're making things worse for yourself. Just say that you're a troll and move on, it will look less pathetic than actually defending the idea that humans are better than other species (and let alone the even more stupid take that nature is made for humans to exploit).
