@ To write it without your qualifiers: "..the human has no special
place at all. ...The only things special about humans is implicit
in the fact that it is they who can express their praise in this
form. ...this is a helpful correction to the notion that it's all about us.

No emotionally / spiritually mature regenerate mentality thinks "it's
all about us", in the first place, nor do they willfully engage in
eisegesis in an attempt to "prove" that the human has "no special
place at all" in creation.

~ Janice ... who knows that many unbalanced "omnipotent
busibodies" who are busily engaged in what they call, "saving the
planet" , also want us to pervert justice by favoring the
poor. Leviticus 19:15 "is a helpful correction" to that notion.
