Help me find the paradox?

The paradox attributable to God (at least as it is perceived by man) is simple: If God created all living things, why, then, is only humankind held accountable for sin? The biblical answer is that God created man, and only man, in His (God's) own image; furthermore, there is no place in heaven for animals, and perhaps that is why the "meek shall inherit the earth" and therefore don't need heaven. The human answer is that we are the only animals, at least as far as we know, with the capacity to know our own mortality and ask such questions in the first place.
