Oh dear. You are insisting to me that your religion is false again.
These fools musta missed it, too!
They weren't fools. They were people who only knew of a very small part of the total world, and had no idea of the extent of Terran bio-diversity. To men who believed (if they thought about the matter at all) that there are a couple of hundred species in total and that the world is about the size of Asia Minor Noah's ark was a lot more credible.
And we are SO much smarter now!
Here's another for you:
"Pride goes before a fall."
It comes from here -
NIV Proverbs 16:18
Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall.
