"The humans are the highest intellegence in the universe argument" was used to demonstrate that athiests are either egoists or idol worshipers. Your demonstration of faith in unproven scientific theory helped prove my point.-MM

Your use of the term "unproven scientific theory" is proof that you don't really understand science.

So if he believes that humans are the highest intelligence in the universe then he's an egoist, but if he believes without evidence that there exists other life in the universe higher than humans without evidence then he's an egoist...

Sounds more like you're playing a word game.

I don't know about Doctor Doom, but I am open to the possibility that there exists "higher" (for whatever definition of "higher" you are using) life forms in the universe than humans. I have no evidence for their existence, so I can only claim that I've never heard of any -- but I don't dismiss the possibility and as such it is not accurate to say that I have claimed that humans are the "highest" forms of life in the universe.
