I completley agree with you. Who said that humans were the main species if the first place? What about the animals? People just assume that they are stupid as well. I don't think that.
People should get over themselves, and look at the big picture of not just the human race, but every other living creature as well.

There are a number of animals who are at the top of the food chain, and humans are one of them. There are animals who eat people, yes, but the food chain is influenced by factors other than the inclination to eat. Our rank in the food chain depends on our strengths as a species and how we utilize them to get our food. Human strengths include an advanced intellect which has resulted in our ability to avoid or control animals who wish to eat us.

You think its naive to think were leaders? Humans? vs what?
Ok, find me a Tiger that can feed like 1 Trillion people on the planet earth like humans do... an Elephant that can travel to the moon like humans do... a Lion or snake that can create the internet for stupid questions like this to be written like you just did?????
THEN I will consider it naive to think were the leaders of this here planet earth.

As badly as we have mucked things up, I wouldn't want giraffes in charge.
Or gorillas, elephants, ants or craw-dads.
Get real. Let's keep it the way it is, ok?
We have some valuable assets. Specifically, an awareness of our own mortality, intention, choices, the power of love at our fingertips. We can use these attributes for the good of all or continue to ignore them at our peril.
Let's just change our attitudes and become care-takers, co-existers, and not users and abusers and discarders.

I don't. It depends where you are-if you go swimming in certain places, the sharks are top of the food chain. As others have stated, it is more of a web.

I think it is more naive to assume that the entire universe was created with humans in mind.

Humans are at the top of the food chain, but that doesn't mean the we can't get eaten ourselves either.

We are at the top of the food chain. We don't have any natural predators, so we're at the top. Of course, the food chain isn't really a chain at all. There are many other species that don't have natural predators and are, in that sense, also at the top of the food chain.

we are not the leaders, God is. But on earth, in an earthly point of view, God gave us full athority over the animals, creatures and anything not human, therefore, we are at the top of the food chain

Well, Christians have put the welfare of human beings at the centerpiece of Christianity.
Jesus supposedly died for the salvation of the souls of human beings.
God supposedly created the entire universe for the benefit and use of human beings.
God became flesh so he could live and die among human beings.
So, that pretty much answers your question, doesn't it? Human beings are the centerpiece of the entire purpose of Christianity and life itself has no other usefulness other than to be a tool for human beings.
