Higher organism is something that's, well,
sophisticated. Something that
God may have created for us to
marvel - and to remind us that we can't build such things ourselves (depending on
beliefs, of course - depending if you believe in
God and depending of you believe in
unavoidable,
relentless triumph of
nanotechnology).
Priest: "What is the highest of all creatures God has created?"
Farmer's son: "Hmmmm... our neighbor's horse, I guess."
