A belief, which in my view, is probably nothing but the herding instinct 
evolved and expressed in complexity over the millennia...

A belief supported by the reality of a creator God who,

Talk about smugness...

You know, we can learn what is best for us to eat by observing what wild 
animals eat...since we evolved along with other animals and life on this 
planet under the same changing geological conditions over millions of years. 
You talk like we are some sot of separate and superior entity.
