Huge gap between humans and animals

Yes I admit it I am a primate and I must say so are you. Same family as those chimps who can solve puzzles and climb trees. I hope I have not offended you by calling you a primate. We should be proud of who we are although maybe not so proud of what we are doing to our ecosystem. Chimps do seem to be better at that.

Your dog don't count then. That would be equivalent of picking out the ligers and making a case. Let's stick with the lions. ;)

and if you prefer to look in the mirror and convince yourself .....
you are an accident.....

That depends on which definition of accident..
ac·ci·dent
/ˈaksədənt/
noun
  1. 1.
    an unfortunate incident that happens unexpectedly and unintentionally, typically resulting in damage or injury.
  2. 2.
    an event that happens by chance or that is without apparent or deliberate cause.
1. No
2. Yes

But even with 2. I've always been under the impression that my conception was planned, or at least, anticipated.


However, if you want to believe God created you... OK.


ETA: You probably shouldn't tell your mother.

There is a huge difference between different animals and between animals and plants. This does not prove anything. All life is unique and important to the ecosystem. How long do you think you would survive if the other forms of life were not present? Humans are still dependent on other life which is just as important as humans to maintaining life on this planet.

I think God expects some level of intellect from these forms He created

the greater the form.....the greater the spirit

and here we are.....discussing the obvious

You may think that but you do not know that. We do not know the spirits of other animals and the term the greater form depends on perspective. In terms of supporting other life forms there are many species of trees that have the greater form. They must also have the greater spirit.

Okay. Then explain how evolution is not accidental - using natural selection.
Click to expand...
It is selective not accidental thus believe it or not the term natural selection. Selection is not random or accidental. It is an active process selecting the best genetic variation. As changes in genetic presentation form more advances in behavior, protective patterns, utilization of energy/resources and other advantages that will then be selected by natural selection. Nothing accidental.

Sorry but you lost me on this post. Can you be a little more clear? When you say "I eat lesser forms" is that like when lions, or sharks or tigers heat humans?
