Q.
On the geological time scale, Mankind has existed but for a brief moment. Yet, this species lays claim to the whole earth, has created strange rules trying to regulate the creation of the Creator and claims to know all from the beginning to the end!! Isn't this species, Mankind, puffed up with too much vanity???
