I beg to differ. I have been at the birthing of too many animals, and a few humans, to consider man other than another species. I do not feel any less because of it. Quite the contrary, I feel included in God's Creation because of the similarities. Furthermore, there is always a miraculous spirit present at the birth of a man or a beast that I must acknowledge. New life is a form of redemption. That Jesus was "born in a manger", (Luke 2:4-7) gives me comfort. Man may be a species given a heavenly cause, but man is a species nonetheless.
Man does evil in infinite names, and under infinite seductions.
Yes, Man is weak and prone to corruption of the flesh, body and mind. What man does, absent mental or physical pathology is his will. Sometimes free, sometimes influenced by ignorance or ideology or greed. I believe "ID" is the result of some portions of these last three corruptions.
