Explain how the instincts of animals are inferior to our intelligence, when they can live on the planet without destroying it, but we can't?

Well the difference is that animals just do things, they don't think about them first. And of course we're superior, it's not like the dodo wiped us out, is it?

I guess they think because we talk, drive cars and have a "higher" form of reasoning that must mean we are superior. They leave out that the majority of animals do not kill other animals for fun or money. It's very rare for an animal to wake up one day, take out 11 of it's own kind and then sit and wait for the "police" to come so the animal can take out more. They certainly don't pollute the earth the way we do. And you don't see leopards or zebras killing off others because they have an extra spot or stripe... or killing another animal off because "well, it's fur color was different than mine".

Who said we are superior? Oh... besides the Christians over there who see the evidence of evolution all around them and so are heck-bent on destroying the planet because if they don't, mankind will evolve and prove that man wasn't the pinnacle of creation...

Becasue we're not "superior" to animals.
Just because we can talk and we think differently than them doesn't make us better. In fact, they are the ones with that "sixth sense" that enables them to survive better than we ever could.
Watch the animals next time a natural disaster is about to occur.

One of the great Greek philosophers said back around 500 BC, " We are not much different from the animals, nor are we superior o them "

They don't have the capacity to do such a thing. Though I did hear that the gas created from cows' flatulence does create methane that adds to global warming. (Also, I don't think that we really have the power to destroy this planet—that is our grandiosity talking).

God gave us dominion over the earth.
Besides nothing is being destroyed. You are just listening to the leftist media propaganda.
