Huge gap between humans and animals

[Bear Wild]

ask any politician

I have a plan
I have a dream
I am not a crook

and yeah.....only humans practice deception

You use your cryptic answers and reliance on what humans wrote a long time ago when they had very little understanding of the world that surrounded them as you basis of argument. Humans are no more special than any other organism. No poetic phrase or rambling ideas will change this. All life is unique and all life is special. We live in a world that is dependent on each other which you do not seem to understand or just do not care.

humans write poetry

animals don't care

 

[Bear Wild]

we consider the afterlife
and a much GREATER Hierarchy

animals don't have gods

You do not absolutely know that what animals have or do not have. It is the same as humans. You cannot even prove and afterlife nor a greater hierarchy.

so....you will die like any animal

I look forward to continuance

how about a one liner of your own....and concede this thread

What is to concede?

That you and your compadres are out of your collective league, science-wise, and are content to throw rocks from the sidelines?

Ok.

 

[tas8831]

how about.....let's us make Man in our image

and no...your plea for evidence will not be answered

Because you have none, I know.

(religious forum)

believing requires no proof
and all you CAN do is think about it

How profound.

And worthless.

I will stick to things that you can examine, and look at, and investigate, and collect data about, etc.

You keep 'thinking' about your middle eastern deity tall tales, written and borrowed from other middle eastern numerologists..

And I will keep laughing at your empty one-liners.

First, that is wrong.

Second, was that presented as evidence of just how golly special we are? made in a deceiver's image, perhaps?

You will continue like any other animal including our fellow primates.

Whales have individual songs. So do many birds.

so I've heard.....(Judy Collins tacked some recordings to her music)

and some birds will mimic anything

but we humans are FAR beyond such things

I am not a chimp

and I believe in God

 

[Bear Wild]

I am not a chimp

and I believe in God

No you are a primate that believes in god.

 

[FearGod]

No you are a primate that believes in god.

If I were God, I'll turn you to a monkey with a long tail.

 

[Polymath257]

If I were God, I'll turn you to a monkey with a long tail.

There are primates that are not monkeys. Apes, for example. Apes do not have long tails.

 

[Bear Wild]

If I were God, I'll turn you to a monkey with a long tail.

Well since you are only an animal and like the rest of the animals on our planet cannot turn anyone into a different animal I guess I will remain the primate I am. Of course if you are a wizard with a wand and went to Hogwarts or some other school like that then I may need to check for a tail in the morning. Enjoy being one of the animals that make up our wonderful Earth and stop trying to be so superior to the rest of us animals.

Being superior isn't a bad thing, for example do you think the cockroach is equal to the German shepherd.

 

[Thief]

No you are a primate that believes in god.

and you just want to throw away the word ......human

doing so does not make me a chimp

 

[tas8831]

First, that is wrong.

Sad - I was looking forward to off-topic, cryptic one-liners...

 

[Thief]

quoting yourself to keep a thread alive is really...pathetic

but very human

Right. You are a human and not a chimp. But you are also an ape, and so is the chimp. You are also a mammal, and so is my cat. And you are also a vertebrate, and so are all fish.

We are human: a very particular species of ape. We have extended capabilities for generalization and communication. Most of our 'specialness' is from those two capabilities. Neither is different in kind from what other apes can do--only in degree.
