So why do some of choose to act like we are better?

Animals think like us this has been proven yet we still try to pretend we control everything.

We pretend like we made the world like were god.

What makes us so special the ability to talk?
Because that's the only real difference.
And even animals talk.

So what is the major difference?

Besides the fact we cook food and throw trash everywhere?

As individuals We seek to predict our future to avoid hardships .. with a greater degree of insight than the average nut burying squirrel.

collectively though i doubt we are as organised as an ants nest

People are not animals..... we are clearly plants.

Plants with nice suits, briefcases, and cigarettes

as george carlin amusingly pointed out we probably evolved because the earth wanted plastic and needed us to make it, now that weve made it its done with us and we can all just die off

There is no major difference. If there were, God wouldn't have to use a donkey to communicate to man...like this:

Numbers:

[SUP]27 [/SUP]When the donkey saw the angel of the Lord, it lay down under Balaam, and he was angry and beat it with his staff. [SUP]28 [/SUP]Then the Lord opened the donkey’s mouth, and it said to Balaam, “What have I done to you to make you beat me these three times?” [SUP]29 [/SUP]Balaam answered the donkey, “You have made a fool of me! If only I had a sword in my hand, I would kill you right now.”
[SUP]30 [/SUP]The donkey said to Balaam, “Am I not your own donkey, which you have always ridden, to this day? Have I been in the habit of doing this to you?”
“No,” he said.
[SUP]31 [/SUP]Then the Lord opened Balaam’s eyes, and he saw the angel of the Lord standing in the road with his sword drawn. So he bowed low and fell facedown.

How symbolic that God would use an animal considered stubborn and stupid to show a prophet how stubborn and stupid man really is.

We have the capacity for doing great things, no other animal has the complex cognitive abilities afforded to us humans. We are closer to infancy when talking in regards to the potential of the human brain, we are barely out of diapers, we are still being ruled by emotions and it will be some time until we reach a mature state. It's only when we are far past the "oh look at that, let's see if we can kill it" phase will we be anything close to our true potential.

The difference is...we are the perfect killing machine, a mechanism that destroys all, because of notion, an ideal.

It is in man's nature to be self-destructive, a fault we do not share with animals.

I tend to agree with that, take sharks for instance, they've been here for approx 350 million years and are still amongst the worlds top predators. As a species they've found a balance within their environment, they dominate the food chain but never waver outside of their role. Humans have a built in switch and it's turned on at birth, it says over come limits, strive to be more then what you are now and never settle for second. I think it's that insatiable desire to rule, to be the best not matter the cost, is both our most defining and deplorable feature.

“People speak sometimes about the "bestial" cruelty of man, but that is terribly unjust and offensive to beasts, no animal could ever be so cruel as a man, so artfully, so artistically cruel.”
