True, the bible says that humans are god's special little favorites, but then again, the bible wasn't written by tapeworms or viruses. Perhaps their opinions on the matter would differ.
i guess the real question is.... what's God's true purpose for existence in the universe? Just to keep his pets happy?

At least Buddhism has an answer for this question.
