I am literally sneakers-on-out-the-door, so quickly: hell yes. As far as we know, we are the smartest thing going. "Will soon have"? I never said that. But we've made astonishing leaps in our understanding of our surroundings. I see no reason why those leaps won't continue, particularly as we continue to supplement our abilities with the speed and ability to address complexity of computers and the like. Arrogant? Maybe. But no more arrogant, in my view, than creating a God in our image, as many seem (to me) to do.

And I don't know that animals have faith in the abilities of their species, so I don't think the analogy is all that accurate.

'til tomorrow. Have a good evening.
