When John Muir writes “The world, we are told, was made especially for man—a presumption not supported by all the facts,” I agree with him questioning how the world was created solely for humans while every part of nature has a role in the life circle which is necessary. I think it is greedy for us to believe that everything in the world is made to help us when there are so many other living creatures on earth. I think that Muir is a bit radical in saying people believe that anything which doesn’t help a human is satanic but I agree that religion sometimes can make us believe that we are the most superior of all species and that everything around us is there to serve us. I think religion makes us appreciate that everything around us has a certain purpose but it still puts human beings at the center of life.
