Anything is a possibility... but that sounds ridiculous to me. This is just the kind of arrogance that Christians believe in. In reality we are nothing more then naked apes that developed unparalleled intelligence through the chance of many evolutionary successes.
Why on earth would you think the human form is the "highest form in the universe"? Higher then the mountains and the trees and the fruit and fire without which we would inevitably die.
No.. the highest form in the universe is all encompassing. In reality there are no forms, only the ONE (which you may call god, but I call nature), and there can not be any one form which is higher then any other because they all depend on each other to exist.
in buddhism i think they say something to the effect of the ant is equal to the man, and it's this premise they base it on. Everything is equal because it's all part of a complex ecological balance which relies on every single element within it to function properly.
