Homo sapiens are able to think - but, does this ability authorize us to assume that WE are THE higher form of life?
Homo sapiens act as if they are at the centre of the Universe - a concept which was and still is heavily promoted by religion.
We think of ourselves as THE higher form of life because of our highly developed brain, which in real terms, is just one thing we have over other life forms.
Homo sapiens can't fly, can't breathe under water, can't stand extreme temperatures - properties which other forms of life can do effortlessly.
If we had to start judging humans on abilities other than thinking, we would immediately realize that the universe is not about planet Earth and even more so NOT about US.
