Huge gap between humans and animals

I do respect scientific information that's why I accept evolutionary theory. The amazing creator is nature itself without an imaginary being. I do not pray to a stone or sun so I have no idea where you came up with that and using the word ignorant age is derogatory.

I didn't say you pray for the stone but people in the ignorant ages did.
I don't agree with you that this universe started from nothing and that
nature itself is behind this amazing life.

Well I hope you will one day become aware of our world before it is too late.

That's how you think that you're related to animals, biology and eating and pooping is what
you share with animals.

That is *some* of what we share with animals. But we also share overall metabolism characteristics, for example. With the other great apes, we share complex brain functions, the ability to manage complex social situations, the ability to use tools, etc.

In fact, we know that chimps have a better memory in many situations than humans do.

What we do have, that other animals do not, is complex language and (presumably) abstract thought. Some animals have simple communication, but none have the complex modes that all humans languages have.

Since it is language that enables us to have much more complex societies, information that skips generations, and complex technologies, we do not see such in other animals. Most of your pictures and examples are a result of this one difference.

Regardless of what we share and what we don't share still the gap is very huge.

So this is what you want to believe no matter what anyone shares with you or what the evidence is. Look and #1 and #2 statements you include under each post you make. Maybe you are trying to tell yourself something.

OK, just to be clear. You want to say that the gap is 'huge' because we have complex language and other animals do not. is that correct?

Or, do you think there are other relevant differences?

In our way of living, we're very different than all other animals.
The huge difference is very clear as the sun shining.

And again, that is primarily because of our technology, which is a product of our language ability.

So you are saying the way of living if a jellyfish and a chimpanzee is not more different than between the chimpanzee and a human? Please explain. Lets see the jellyfish does not have hand like chimpanzees but wait humans have hands. Jellyfish do not produce milk like chimpanzees but wait humans do. Jellyfish to not make tools like chimpanzees but there again humans make tools. Yes more complex but still tools. So you cannot see that humans are more similar to chimpanzees that chimpanzees are to Jellyfish? Please explain how there is a greater difference between humans and any of the apes that any ape and a Jellyfish. You can start with physiology, anatomy brain structure, or any biological evidence you can. If not your argument about the huge gap is meaningless.

You aren't able to see how humans are a unique creatures and you won't be able to,

The burden of proof lies upon the person making the positive claim. If you can't support your claim that tells us that it really is not valid at all.

Meanwhile we do have almost endless evidence that tells us we shared a common ancestor with other apes. When did God put the extra bit in that somehow makes us so different from other animals?

The radio share the computer with basic elements and which is the electronic components,
does it mean that both are similar?

Which is better, you or the donkey, or do you think both of you are just animals?

What do you mean by "better"? There are things that donkeys can do better than you or I, there are things that I can do better than a donkey. How does not decide which matters more?

If you have to choose between being a human or a donkey, which one you choose?

I would choose to be a human, but then I am a human. What makes you think that a donkey would choose not to be a donkey?

The problem is that you cannot support your beliefs so you can only ask rather pointless questions.

You don't choose to be a donkey simply because you know that humans are
better than donkeys.

If you have to choose to be any animal other than human, then what would you like to be?

This argument fails because you have not even been able to define what you mean by "better". And it is a totally pointless argument because there is no such choice.

Now my question: Do you not like being related to all other life, including donkeys?
