Query: Why are animals regarded more highly in some respects than humans?

Started by PITT_HAPPENS12 pages

I’ve never really understood what is the use of the “art” as proving that we are superior to “animals”, I don’t see how this would put over the top?

I see the problem: you believe the bible. The bible is wrong.

Statement: The problem is made visible to FeceMan.

Assertation: Shakyamunison is a believer in a false god and has exchanged the truth for a lie.

Declaration: Shakyamunison will be able to make statements such as those found in the quoted material with impunity, but members of KMC will leap upon FeceMan's assertation like wolves on a wounded moose.

Lets see... you believe that a book is the word of god, is that correct? I referee to God as a short cut for the mythic law. To say I believe in a false god would mean I believe in a god in the first place. I am sorry if my attempts to communicate with you has lead you to an incorrect conclusion.

So, the only reason you believe that humans are not animals and therefore above other animals is because some goat herders 3000 years ago said so.

Isn't that circular reasoning?

Isn't Christianity dominated by circular reasoning, or have I been reading to many posts by JIA? 😂

I think it's more of an appeal to authority.. trace back arguments far enough it becomes "because God said so"... *shrugs*

Ending with some goat herders who saw a natural gas leek on fire and thought the hissing was god speaking to them. 😉

Well, I'd be nauseated if it turned out that my god was nothing more than something akin to a flaming fart.

I am 100% for animal rights, but I find it hypocritical when a person who defends animal rights supports the death penalty or abortion.

You beleive that animals were meant to serve us, if that is so, then why do the majority of animals not serve us at all?

Why is it that thousands of species of animals live thier own lives, independent from and of human beings, if they were created to serve us ?

Declaration: Humans are superior because of their mental capacity. No other species has a conscience, the ability to produce and ejoy art, the ability to invent and produce. No other animal can communicate as humans communicate.

1) Mental Capacity...I certainly hope you are not speaking on behalf of ALL humans....we have done such great damage to this world, and to eachother. How is higher mental capacity an automatic advantage, when it has also lead to incredible pain ?

2) How do you know we are the only species with a concious ? I suggest you read up on the psychology of dogs, horses, dolphins, and other mammals.

3) The ability to produce and enjoy art serves nature in no way, and therefore cannot be used as an example as to how we are superior.

4) We cannot communicate the way Dolphins communicate.

We cannot communicate the way bats can.

We cannot survive underwater the way whales and many fish can.

We cannot fly on our own.

We cannot naturally detect cancer cells in our body the way a dog can.

We cannot see more than a few hundred colors the way certain insects can.

We do not have anywhere the amount of disclipine an army ant has.

We cannot survive certain weather conditions the way polar bears or penguins can.

WE cannot survive extreme temperatures the way certain insects can either.

There are so many things that animals can do, that we cannot. There are so many things animals survive and endure that we could never overcome.

You clearly know very little of the animal kingdom, and it is scientific fact that human beings are animals.

Did you know that there were other species of human that existed before homo sapien ?

We are animals. Get over it.

I am for animal rights, they are alive too and can feel pain as much as humans. God made them for a purpose just like he made everything for a purpose. To kill anything is wrong. I don't believe we should eat animals either, Christ was a vegetarian. Eating a lobster is just like eating a cockroach or any other kinda bug. I also don't understand how some think creation appeared out of no where. Go outside and gaze at the stars if you believe that and then tell yourself there is no God and I think you might finally get it.

The Bible says that the animals were meant to be reigned by man. Therefore, according to your religion, they were meant to serve us.

Jesus ate fish...so did his apostles....nice try 👇

The Universe has always existed, and no imaginary being created it. It simply changes form. First Law of Physics will tell you that matter and energy cannot be created or destroyed, it always changes states.

That means, all material and energy is eternal, no beginning no end, it only changes form. The Universe, and all its stars and planets, are born, die, and are reborn in different forms.

Science demands we study our universe. So instead of staring at our universe and concluding that there is a god, why not study it, and see whats really there ?
