Life's Origins

This morning I woke up thinking about what a friend of mine said about following the Bible teachings to the letter. I came up with an explanation for all the destruction, suffering, and enslavement inflicted by men upon other man: it came from the Bible.
The biggest ego booster for men has to be the book of Genesis. It tells us God created the Universe and Earth for men, who he created to it's own image, and then created animals and women for men's entertainment. How self-centered and selfish of an explanation is this? Certainly not what my God would do. My God is self less, loves all living creature equally, and has no image.
If God did create man to it's own image wouldn't that make him Chinese or African? If God did create the Universe and Earth for us, why aren't we at the very center of it.
This, of course, was written by men, and for a single purpose: to give us a false pretense to dominate everything around us.
If the Universe was created for white occidental men by God, why would he put anything else in there, knowing we would try to kill it.
