Seeing ourselves as "Top Rung" in what may be an infinite universe
is a logical evolutionary outgrowth of a flat earth hypothesis. In
free-space which way is UP? The most we can claim for ourselves is
that at this moment we are the latest development in a specific
evolutionary trend. Big Deal? Only to ourselves can we be "tops"
because the attitude has helped *our* genes to survive. Viruses and
Prokaryotes survive very nicely without this or possibly *any*
perception.
