Modern man defines intelligence by whatever is the currently accepted science, or by what our technology can detect. Furthermore, man has the audacity to declare himself superior to all other creatures. Because he has the power to destroy the world and wipe out every living creature in existance. Is that what makes us more intelligent? Mother nature is far more complex than any technology we could invent. Man owes all of its technological prowess to nature. Whether it's computers, planes, or any other invention, humans have "reverse engineered" it, so-to-speak from nature.
