Whoa... Someone not intelligent enough to understand that not all bans are permanent. Not surprising though considering who's making that assumption. Time for me to make good on my promise I made to you on Herochat about placing you on ignore.

Most people believe Evolution not because they themselves are dumb, but cause they trust the "experts" who are feeding them evolutionary fast food, and so they don't bother questioning whether or not it's true.
I'm not sure we can say all life is sacred, Life is so abundant (in our planet) that it cannot be considered sacred in practice or isolated in anyway that matters. Should we cry for all the cells we shed as we grow up or are we considering cellular organisation as the basis of our valuable beliefs.
Anyways, life is so abundant that to give it a generic value would make such value pretty low. Our economics are about rarity after all.
Obviously there is a societal order on how we treat various forms of life. We tend to rate other living things as helpful, harmful, or neutral. In some ways this also includes other humans.
And their is an evolutionary aspect to this. If we know some snakes are poisonous in the area we live in we are going to be less likely to give any snake a chance to bite us or breed.
If we know a certain animal is helpful to us we are more likely to breed it and incorporate it into our society.
It makes sense. This also extends to plants and bacteria.
We also tend to rank forms of life and generally we always put humans at the top. Which once again makes sense. We are all humans and we can interact with each other easier. If it came down to saving a human vs a dog I think we would almost always choose the dog.
Also I tend to not like to use the word sacred but I do like to think of all life as miraculous and not from a religious standpoint. When you think about all the random factors that needed to happen for life to evolve even into bacterial form it is amazing. There I think all life is precious because all life was such an uphill battle.
Of course I can think this way because I don't have to be down in the dirt trying to survive.
