Huge gap between humans and animals

FearGod

We do not work in harmony when we thing we are superior. Just look and human history just with respect to other people alone. Anyone can make a top 10 things that makes any animal special. You are missing the big picture. All life is unique and special not just humans. It is amazing you cannot see this. You must be so disconnected with the natural world to lose so much respect for the life we share this planet with.

Humans as being unique than all other animals on earth doesn't mean I don't respect life
and the animals on this planet, You only oppose the fact that humans are unique that
no other animal on earth have similar style of life to it because you oppose the notion
that God exists.

Why only humans are different than the rest of animals in terms of thinking, talking
and the way of living, no animal can be compared to humans?

Why we can't even see animals in midway between humans and animals in
terms of thinking, talking and the ability to invent ..etc?

How that is explained by science, we can see different kinds of animals horses, donkeys, dogs,
different kind of birds, but why humans are unique?
Human beings are the literal children of God.

Human beings are not animals.

Yes you're right, to me a cow is better than you, it gives us milk and hence we can make
cheese, yogurt and many other products such as Nada and Nadec milk products.

Did humans read and write before 20000 years ago?
Homo sapiens or the wise man existed 200,000 years ago, it means humans have
spent more than 195,000 years just to start learning how to write and read.
Why do you think that humans just started to think about writing before only 5000 years ago,
why not before 20000 years, why not before 30,000 years or 50,000 years.

I appreciate the maker and not the product.

Why did only certain groups develop writing?
Nobody on the Australian continent had read
or written a word till white men showed up.

Same in many places. You know so much,
explain it.
The Aztecs could read and write, but not the Navajo
nor the noble Eskimo.

How come? Explain it, if you know so much.

They did more much more than just hunting and eating obviously. They also were for more intimately connected with the natural world than most of us are today.

If humankind had never wasted their time
with rituals, no telling how far and fast
we'd have gone.

Look at what happens today, people
wasting their time and fogging their
brains with religions.

(See if creationists would ever develpp geology)

You're waisting your time in this religious forum as well, defending atheism.

That was really stupid question, why we didn't have mobiles 30 years ago?

Why not take the advice from the current philosophy of some
that way of life includes an acceptance of death

that way of life was formed without modern medicine or currency

which do you think you can surrender?

I assure you....niether

you get hurt bad enough....of to the hospital you go
and then you get to pay for it

They did nothing before 10,000 years ago, hunting and eating similar to any other animal on this earth.

Some places continued to hunt and gather, well into the Iron Age, FearGod. It depends not only on tools used, but where they lived, geologically.

You do realise that not every places were suitable for agriculture, don't you?

The Arctic regions, the deserts, the Steppe are often regions that don't rely on agricultural farming. In the Arctic and Steppe, you don't find many permanent settlements like towns and cities.

To give you an example of the Iron Age nomads, for instance, the Scythians that occupied much of Eurasian Steppe.

The Scythians were nomadic people, from the 9th century BCE to 3rd century BCE, who following their grazing animals, horses, cattle and herds, stopping to allow them to graze, before moving on. And what they don't kill and eat what they owned, they would do hunting and gathering. They were the best hunters in the world, at that time.

You may think that this is poor way to live, but the Eurasian Steppe extend from China to what is now, Hungary, and the Scythians have actually prospered by controlling the Silk Road, for much of 1st millennium BCE.

The Scythians were known for their skills in metalwork. And in wars, they were renown for their ferocity, their marksmanship with the bow and their superior horsemanship.

Their empire outlasted their 1st millennium BCE, contemporaries, such as the Neo-Assyrian Empire, Neo-Babylonian Empire, the Persian Empire, and they were still formidable in the time of Alexander the Great.

The Scythians were hunters and gatherers as well as pastoral nomads. They were traders and warriors.

After Alexander, a new pastoral nomads, the Samaritans, forced them to eventual oblivion.

In the medieval period, when they reached Europe, the Mongols lived a similar lifestyle as that of the Scythians over 1000 years earlier. They hunt, they gather and they raised livestock just as Scythians did.

No it has nothing to do opposing the notion that god exists. I never said that and it is false. Clearly your implication is that you are human thus more like god than any other animal. Why not just say that rather than misunderstanding biology. You are saying that no other animal is unique which is of course biologically incorrect. You cannot justify what you are saying since all life has its unique abilities. Yes humans can do things that other animals cannot but other animals as well as plants can do things that humans cannot thus we are all equal.

Bringing god into the discussion only shows you want to place man above other animals based on the myths of the bible and not on the knowledge we have learned about other life. This attitude does show a disrespect for other life. It makes you feel superior even though we were all created by the same biology and evolutionary process. Same thing was true when in the past humans felt they were superior to other humans and did not have respect for other types of humans.

I did never say that humans are more like God, we are still animals and God said that nothing on earth
is comparable to him which means that God is not similar to our nature.

I did not say that humans are unique in terms of biology but I said in terms of thinking, speaking
and the style of living ..etc.

Again and again I repeat, Many kinds of birds can fly, many kinds of fish that can swim, but
no other kind on earth can walk like humans, no other kind think to study and invent
like humans ....etc,

You only refuse such fact because you do not accept the notion that God exists.

How many times do I have to say this...

Humans are in the position we are today because we have, through evolution, developed one organ ahead of others. the BRAIN.
From that development we have been able to develop our understanding of the world, invent stuff, medicines to cure us, computers to entertain and help us, etc. etc.

We cannot swim well, we cannot run fast, we cannot fly, we cannot see as well as many animals, we cannot smell as well as (say) dogs. To summarise we are inferior in most ways to the animals around us, apart from in one facet, we have a well developed BRAIN.

Isn't evolution marvelous?

Why only humans?

Why not?
Why only giraffes have long necks?

Still lives like the rest of the animals, humans are living in a style different than the rest
of the animals, it isn't about the size that one animal is extremely huge or the ant is
extremely small or the bacteria is unseen etc
