I read it. I downvoted it¹ because it seems pretty nonsensical to me, in more than a few ways; I won't go into that, though - see my previous comment.
The ideas that humans are special and animals thus have no souls & that this "is the best of all possible words" are morally repugnant to me, too. I would have mentally quadruple-downvoted you except for your idea about God reversing evil computations... so it's only a mental triple-downvote. :p
¹I didn't actually downvote it, because it was already at -5 when I saw it, and I want some discussion to come out of it. I think it deserves those downvotes, though.
That's completely fair. I just don't like when I make a long comment and it gets downvoted before I can click on the Will_Newsome link, ha. In retrospect I shouldn't have said anything.
