D. Something to Ponder: “I Am Special”

Imagine yourself as a Creator. You have

already made everything else: foliage, fowls, fish,
heavenly bodies, beasts of the field, etc. You have
decided to create a human being. Then, a snake asks
you: “God, why do you have to do that? Of what use
will a man be to your world?” How will you answer
the snake?
