humans are not the strongest nor have the biggest brains, but humans are the only species who have the power to save or destroy the earth. How did we we evolve and adapt to have so much responsibilty solely though natural selection?

Of the best questions yet. This really needs to be in both philosophy and spiritual column.
"Whither is God'? He cried. 'I shall tell you. We have killed him, you and I. All of us are his murderers..." Nietzsche is showing the inevitable unfolding anthropocentrism (lit. man at the centre of the world) implicit in philosophy. Our existence so analysed through human categories, our concept of God is itself a human creation. Whilst Kierkegaard calls to embrace God even if it seems an absurdity, Nietzsche emphasises on creating a new mode of being, with human creativity at its centre. For want of fear of pain invoked by causing of another's suffering and forebearance that responsibility and conscience evolved through literal expression and structural systems, creativity is said to be the mother of invention. But what of elephants and like mamals who show compassion to their own. Do they have conscious thought such that differences with humans is in our exigency on self realisation to correct the wrongs and imbalances ? Wither did evolution has not been proved or disproved, time is made into a series of singular instances, with whole ideas come to fruition. Therein endless random exercises in tandem do echo ideas far and wide, self-ordained the chosen one, which bear the crown of thorns.

Darwin had said." Those who survive are not the strongest , not the most intelligent, but the ones most acceptable to change". We evolved as a result of the changing climates, and seasons, and places. And later on..... started to change or evolve our surroundings for our comfort. So GOD was always there...changing our enironments so that we cold learn this trick and carry iy forward. They have the power to save or destroy because it i bestowed upon us.....and the world we change is the world we live in.

We didn't.
God created us for independent thinking and decision making. He also gave us free will. That way, we can accept the truth...or reject it.
In Genesis, God tells us that we are to take dominion over the earth. That doesn't mean abuse or destroy it.
So, why is your question posted here for the Religious and Spirituality and not in biology?

That is a problem. Men think they are in charge, in control. They are not. God is in control of everything, including evolution. We only use 10% of our brain and look what trouble it gets us into. Thank God that He didn't give us any more powers at this time.

Humans are the species with the greatest amount of self-awareness.

We don't have the biggest brains? That's news to me.

THEY say we were created in his image. So that means we are a lot like G0d.
