And Theist Things are best understood by Theist.
Wishful thinking is a theist thing.

We are no more special than any other creature...We are all born, we live, and then we die...End of story. Theists just cannot face this truth.

Atheist cannot face this truth; you are amoung the only creature's on earth who could have made that observation and wrote it down; and for some strange reason, you can't see how special that is.

The evolution of man reveals how far we have come; in language there exist a continual attack on our evolution in the area of respect and communication; the human tendency to lash out in illmannered contention, is a reversed evolution that seeks to take us backwards.

Many insects can see in the UV spectrum, bats can locate the tiniest of these insects using echo location, pit vipers can locate bats by sensing their body heat, birds of prey have eyesight far better than ours, orcas can communicate over hundreds of miles, and each pod has their own language, chimpanzees have memory recall superior to a humans....Every creature on earth is superior to every other in some way....All of this and you think humans are somehow more special?

Incidentally, if you think Na'vi was insulting you look up the definition of hubris...It fits you perfectly.
