“What a piece of work is man! How noble in reason! How infinite in faculty! In form and moving how express and admirable! In action how like an angel! In apprehension how like a God! The beauty of the world!” – William Shakespeare
“Human beings, as a species, have no more value than slugs.” – John Davis, editor of Earth First Journal

William Shakespeare. We are just as valuable to God as his 'slugs' are but, eeek! just on a completely different level of course, all things being great and small!!!! Dont Judge that Slug!!!!
Yes we are created in the essence of what we term 'God' (or any name you prefer as your truth)
God inspires us to find our way back home, through art and beauty we find home, it is in creation - God is a creative God,
Yes we are all Earth Angels on the Earth Plane.
Love, Light & Laughter!

Since both are true and ultimately dependent on each other, both. The naturalist needs the artist to lift his/her soul and to explain why there are humans studying slugs. The artist needs the naturalist lest the artist comes to believe his own divinity.

The first quote to me sounds like man is being described as being totally self serving and prideful..The second one there seems to be no value at all in life..........I will teach my children the way of the Lord.

Neither, thank you. I consider human life to be quite valuable sans the concept of a supernatural creator.

Both are true and moving to me, in their respective right. I would teach my children both.

Lately I would say the slug reference. At least slugs don't bomb the hell out of one another, rape children and murder each other.

I'll teach my kid both because I don't belive in limiting knowledge.

Could you make it a little more biased first, and then ask?
Thanks.
