The very beginning of Genesis tells us that God created man in order to give him dominion over fish and fowl and other creatures. Of course, Genesis was written by a man, not a horse.

Milan Kundera's "The Unbearable Lightness of Being" explores the theme of humanity's relationship with nature, as highlighted in the biblical account from Genesis. In this narrative, God created humans with a sense of purpose, granting them authority over animals and nature. This suggests a divinely ordained hierarchy where man plays a central role in the ecosystem.

Kundera notes that while Genesis reflects a divine intention for man's dominion, it is essential to recognize that this account was penned by a human being. This observation prompts reflection on the complexities of perception, power, and the inherent biases in human narratives about existence and authority over the natural world.
