Genesis 1:26-30
Gen 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
Gen 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
Gen 1:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
Gen 1:29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.
Gen 1:30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.

as a results of fact men wrote the bible. If dolphins had written it, it would say dolphins had dominion. As standard, human beings use "god" as a justification for their strikes. Edit: Gavnjo, we are no longer destroying the planet. The planet would be nice whether there are people on it or no longer. we must be destroying our ability to stay right here. however the earth nevertheless be right here, and new species will upward push to take our place, in simple terms as people confirmed up after the dinosaurs have been long gone.

Genesis 1:28
God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground."

Genesis 1-26-29
And ye shall have dominion over the fishes that swim, etc.
Problem is, the actual translation of the original is "And he shall take his place among..."
slightly different meaning there.
