Is man truly the noblest of any other creature?

I apologized because it was my wild thoughts that always made me wonder if we were the highest in degrees than animals. While we eat anything and are very greedy as humans and our behavior is also very wild than animals. Until finally I wrote this and thought that humans are actually no more noble than other creatures.

I'd say we were the least noble of all. We know better. Yet we still kill and destroy people and our planet. For thinking creatures, too little thinking takes place. We're poor stewards of our planet and her peoples.

I agree with you. Some people are dangerous and kill or harm others only because they enjoy it.

@dya80dya And animals won't destroy their own habitat.

@cacay1 Since animals have no morals then man is the most noble of all creatures.

@kanuck1, noble is someone who has high morals and ideals or people who are royalty or who have good breeding. An example of noble is a person who is always honest and charitable. Man of honor , respect and prestige.

Humans are animals. We just think and communicate differently from other animals. But, at the end of the day we're no better then cats, dogs or any other creature in existance.

For seeing all the people in the whole world fighting with each other, i'd say "men are not better than animals."

I don't think so. Some people can be noble, but not all of them.

In some degree, yes, but it doesn't mean we are above anything else.

We are the highest of all God's creations, made perfect but with free will to choose for ourselves. Unfortunately we make bad choices and it seems that even in the human race it is the fittest who survive. Why is it that those who lead are the most likely ones to be corrupt? Is it power, wealth, love of money?

Seeing what's happening around the world today, I would say that humans have a long way to go to gain that "noble" title. Our mental faculties should make us better than other creatures, but sadly that is not the reality.

While we cannot deny that there are also humans having an animalistic behavior, there are animals more than humans.

We are hypocrites and not noble at all though a few stick to what is right. We misuse what is given and are cruel to other species who also have similar feelings and emotions.
