Why would it give humans a special place? If one subscribes to the fact that it exists on a level other than human, or sentient, thought then things were 'wrong' or 'right' long before sentience came around and would be so after. Sentience is simply a means by which we can grasp the concept of its existence, albeit colored thoroughly by interpretation. Its something that simply is.

Impossible to prove of course, just like everything else. But its fun to argue these things sometimes.

I'm aware that it would be so even if we and any other sentient species out there never came to be, but it would give the concept of sentience a special place. Also, there is the question of why there are these objective morals. A supernatural being is pretty much required, for the only use of these objective morals would be as a way to 'grade' sentient people after they have lived in the physical realm. Otherwise, what's the point of having objective morals that may never be adhered to (even if a sentient species comes along)?
