Earth, Zardoz was right on the money. You are going to drive me nuts here! I am amazed at the way you backpedal and shift from focus to focus to avoid the answers to the very questions you spout! Youre avoidance tactics should easily go down as legendary in this thread. It is all to clear to me (and likely most readers here) that you lack even the fundamentals of the process you are arguing against. It is also much to clear that despite any answer offered you have already made youre mind that it will be insufficient. Since you are unwilling/unable to look at this subject from an open perspective you should stop now.
I will humor you (though I am not sure why) by answering your last question.
Do you think you are the highest form of life in/or outside the universe?
The flaw with this question is readily apparent. I will assume based on (a) the fact you even asked it and on (b) the fact youre previous comments amount to little more than a good laugh, that you honestly dont see the flaw.
The question should be Do you think you are the highest form of life on the planet? The answer to this is soundly yes! Although dolphins display advanced behaviors and could even have a developed [closed] language system Homo Sapien Sapien is the most intelligent animal on this planet.
If you meant the above question as you actually stated it than the obvious flaw is that no other intelligent life has been contacted. This does not rule out the possibility of intelligent life it simply means no contact has been made. If tomorrow aliens come down to our little planet how would we measure their intelligence? We humans cant even create a clear non-biased method to test our own intelligence much less could we hope (at current technology) to develop a system that could compare our mental capacity with that of a creature that may or may not even utilize an organ comparable to our brains.
Please before you ask another question at least make a half hearted attempt to think about what you are going to ask first.

No. This is flawed because every creature is at its' peak evolutionary form, and will always be. that's evolution. If something evolve worse for its' environment then it doesn't survive, and if it doesn't survive, it doesn't exist, and if it doesn't exist it can't be a poor life form. So no, we are all the same.

I think by highest he was referring to intelligence as in the ability to reason. For example problem solving, preparing for future events, expanding current language to include items/concepts which are yet unknown, the list goes on

That's fine for those of us content with being a monkey's uncle. Or hominids or whichever line that particular branch of the theory says we came from.
If we're not higher, then why are we, as famine said, the only "animal" that has been able to have the population of an area grow beyond the resources of the immideat area?

A-hahahaha.
Oh wait, you were serious. In that case, let me laugh even louder.
BWAAAAAAAAAAAA-HAHAHAHA!

No.
Which doesn't immediately necessitate the thought that there must be other, higher forms of life in the Universe, thought the probability approaches 1.
However, the last three words turned your question into a farce.

That would be you sir. I wouldn't classify myself or anyone else as a bug or a virus. We have the intelligence to go beyond the daily search for food and procreation. Hence we have been able to push the envelope and do more with less. This is what I'm talking about.

Actually, a bug or virus does exactly what humans do.
We both move to an area and replicate until we overflow the place. We both move to an area and alter it to suit our survival and not the area's...
And viruses certainly don't search for food.

No, I refuse to be insulted and put down in an incredibly demeaning way. I know my country has problems. But it's the best in the world and I simply won't have people insuting it and calling it a whore because they don't like it.

IM FROM CANADA. I LOVE CANADA. I CALLED CANADA A WHORE.
I'm not in self-denialyou are!
As history and evolution have shown, the most wastefull creatures never survive. You're just too afraid to admit that. There's a difference between power and intelligence, and your president is proof of that.

First I don't believe in evolution as the origin of species.
Second, just because you're insulting your own country doesn't make it OK to insult mine.
Third, I honestly believe that our current president is doing a pretty good job with what he has had to go through.
Self denial, nah. There are so many things I would change about my country it's not funny. But it doesn't mean I'm going to insult it because I disagree with some of the things that are going on.
Yes, I'm a patriot. Not a blind patriot, but a patriot non the less. We've got some HUGE problems in the USA. But that's still no reason for me to go around insulting this or any other country. Get me?

"I'm not in self-denial."
Think about it for a minute. Wouldn't someone in self-denial deny being in self-denial?
It's like an interview question my brother was asked once. "We hear you can be argumentative. Is this true?"
He had a fun time answering that one.
