   We are part of this ecosystem for better or worse. So who would have the authority to judge what we have done here?

      A perfectly logical question. Who would we have to justify our actions to?

   A good question....
   
   Do we as a species deserve to exist...
   
   Have we given back anything that would merit our continued existence...

         Maybe that is where the ancient/modern religions belief that we should suffer came from? (which for the record I disagree with)

      Who's the judge? The human race is a collective of individuals. Can we defend our own behavior, or that of our species. They're different questions.

               Ok when a team goes and competes, it is the team that wins. Yes they are made up of individuals but the team is also an Entity.
               
               When you defend just yourself and not humanity, are you going to be defending 'all' your molecules collectively or do they have to each defend themselves individually?

                  No, what I was attempting to say, obviously not very well, is that I couldn't defend humanity. I can defend myself, and also point to a few errors in my ways, but I cannot defend my species. They have done despicable things, but not with my blessing or approval.

      Knight - when a rabid racoon bites a human, we don't annihilate the entire racoon population.  When a lion attacks a trainer, we don't annihilate the entire lion population.  I stand in defense of my life on the planet and my worth as a human.  I vow to protect other animals who cannot care for themselves.  Do away with the warmongers, rapists, abusers, haters.  I shall not lift a finger against the judges.

    Defend Yourselves is the answer.
    
    We as a species tend to defend those that can't defend themselves. We root for the underdog! We sacrifice even our own lives to protect others, not just other people but all kinds of others.
    
    That is a why we should be aloud to exist.
