with regards to your Buddhism inquiry demi-gods are the equivalents for Asura for hindus, Angels/fallen angles for Christians, jinnis / genies for muslims and Titans for Greeks

and it is self evident animals are inferior beings as they have not made computers or cars like us.


Tthe universe comes into existence dependent upon the actions/karma of its inhabitants. Buddhists posit neither an
ultimate beginning or final end to the universe, but see the universe as
something in flux, passing in and out of existence, parallel to an
infinite number of other universes doing the same thing.
