We are the only creature to have names for greed, lust, and jealousy. In actuality beavers change their environment to suit their needs. They are just as destructive on their environment as we are. Amounting to billions in property damage yearly on forests. Watch any wild animal and you will see lust when males fight over a female along with jealousy. You will see greed when ever you watch a pack. They have a distinct pecking order as to who can have first dibs on food or shelter and it cascades down from there. Especially when the kill is large enough for every one of them, but the alpha eats first, then the betas, then the runts. Never will you see a alpha share a meal they will leave it when they are done and then the rest fight over who gets next shot at it.
You say it doesn't seem logical for a single cell organism to evolve intelligence. Um you started out as two separate single cell organisms. A sperm and an egg. That process happens daily we can see it happen so to say its a far cry to logical thought that we all started out that way is just not true.
I personally don't care what you believe in, I really don't. If someone wants to believe that there is one god or 50,000 gods who am I to say otherwise. It is what helps them get through the day. If your faith is such that it sustains you then by all means believe, but that faith works both ways. In that if you believe then you shouldn't care if others do or don't. My not believing isn't affecting you in the slightest. You still get to live your life how you want and in the way you want. Just like your faith isn't affecting me in the slightest. I still do what I want when I want. But religion has no business in science as science has no business in faith. Faith after all is uniquely and strictly human.
