Are we designed more intelligently than plants?

Asked by Ltryptophan (12091points) March 24th, 2011

Plants use the sun to produce their own food. Arguably this use of an inorganic energy source is a better design than our own methods of consuming energy to support life.

Of course I would say that for this reason plants are designed superiorly to all other living things, and that the only possible exception would be humanity because of our advanced intelligence.

As the tenet of my argument I offer that it is almost impossible, if not actually impossible for us to continue to live without plants. But plants are not so dependent on us.

Please help me out here…Am I getting this wrong?
