I seriously doubt if any animals see us as God, they may see us as dangerous and threatening when we destroy then and their habitat, or in the case of well kept domestic animals they hopefully see us as nurturing companions, but as God? Hardly.

We are a busy, productive species for sure. But don’t get carried away and think that makes us God like on this planet in any way, you will die just like the humblest, “dumbest” creatures will. You are an animal just as they are; you may be busy building one heck of an impressive termite mound in this life, you maybe amazed at your own handywork, that does not change a thing.

What about all those injured and helpless animals that leave the veterinarian's hospital with a new life? All those animal rights groups? All the laws passed that protect animals?
Those animals that we help probably would mistake us for being "like a God". Also it is equally true that animals would mistake us for "the Devil", but like all coins there is always two sides.
With certain knowledge, you CAN live forever.
I'm not claiming we will EVER be as powerful as God, but we sure do have "Godlike" abilities. Do you not agree?

You don't think that God or Gods are capable of mistakes? After all he did create us supposedly . Or in the bible God kills everyone with a flood except for a group of chosen people, wasn't that god wiping the slate clean and starting over from his previous mistake?
