There is no such thing as "worth" in any universal sense - it is an entirely human concept, rooted in the human ego. As such, it is defined as a human may define it. Thus a human can simply define humankind as "more worthy" as it is a value based judgment that arises from human ego in the first place.

That's not an argument. Emotional responses(ego is tied to emotion) are not valid arguments.

It is entirely an argument.

The argument is:

You claim that humans are not worth more than any creature.

My assertion is that "worth" is a human concept in the first place and as such only receives the value assigned to it by humans.
