special destiny

He doesn't. Man has the exact same destiny as all the other living creatures of the earth.

It's cockroaches that have the special destiny. They're far more adaptable than we are, and can survive conditions we can't. They can survive environmental collapse and nuclear destruction. It's going to be up to them to repopulate the earth after we manage to blow it up.

Huh? Who says man has any special destiny? Not sane people, certainly.

I know this much, if any creature says that man has a special destiny, it's man. And he only says it to man.

For all we know dogs and monkeys say the same thing to eachother. Roaches too, for that matter...
