God doesnt love humans more then animals. He doesnt love anything, love is a human created emotion/term non existant from the rest of the universe.
God just is, he is the energy binding the whole universe together. He sees no rights or wrongs. He didnt make humans. He didnt make anything, he simply ignited the spark and watched the so called fire burn. He is everything and nothing. He is the big bang and everything that followed and preceeded. He is the tao. Yin, Yang, polar opposites. There is no devil, there is no hell, the only hell that you will ever see is the one you create for yourself here on earth. There is no afterlife, there is simply an imprint you leave on the world, your energy, your molecules are used up after you die.
Humans are just apes and act according to our genetic makeup. We kill each other just as chimps kill other chimps. We do it for power and control. We do it for food and women to make sure that our genes get passed on to the next generation. We do it to stay alive. Richard Dawkins wrote it best in his book "The Selfish Gene". We are here because our genes want to survive and live forever. We werent formed specifically to witness and know about some higher power, it just so happens that the only way most people can obtain some control over their lives is by believing in god and praying that they live forever.
Children are our way to immortality.
It is survival of the fittest and thats the way the living world works. God takes no part in deciding who survives, he just sits backs with a cold beer and watches. We kill each other in his name. Christians and muslims and jews all believe in the same god, yet we bomb and blow each other to pieces for him. What its really all about is economics, power, territory, we do it for our genes to make sure we survive. God is just a facade.
