Ok we are not special in a way that God created this universe for us, but just the fact that we even ask the question that is the universe created for us, makes us a curious and intelligent being - no? When you look at our closest cousins, Chimpanzees - you will find about 1% difference in DNAs, but look at the difference in the intelligence of a fully grown chimp and a fully grown human. That difference is mind boggling, and 1% of the difference in DNA does not explain the huge difference in intelligence. Dont you think that the difference in intelligence alone is a very special trait, one that science cannot explain?

I believe we are not special and each and every creature or a thing or an object in this universe is as equal as human.Or in other words we are special as equal as all others in this universe or we are not special as equal as all others in this universe. It was not until Mr. J.C Bose discovered that plants do have senses,we humans were ignorant about that fact.Earlier,animals were hunted down and killed for fun but our conscience has changed a lot and now we have a whirlpool of animal lovers and their caretakers around us.Now we know that Chimpanzees do express feelings just like we do and I am sure we will take these studies to more animals and birds in future and we all will realize one day that all the creatures and things in this universe are equal and special.
