For the dismally ignorant

[Secret Chief]

What are you talking about? Humans are different from other species of mammals just as other species of mammals are different from other species of mammals. Try the same sorts of transplants with other species and the results would be very similar. Why would you think that humans are special?

Down to that book I imagine.

There is a different between "nope" and "closely". They all have varying degrees of similarity

You did not understand. Your heart has the same genes as the hearts of other closely related animals. It has far fewer of the same genes as more distantly related animals. Try replacing your heart with a crocodile heart. You would not last long at all.

Never said that and I don't know where you reach the conclusion that I dodged.

Let me say it differently and maybe that will help my communicating the thought.

All animals and humans have a body and a soul (wherein is the intellect). But humans have a spirit that the others don't and it is the reason we are of a class unto ourselves. (Within the context of my signature)

The claim of a "spirit" was not shown in the article that I linked. That is a claim that you would need to define properly and then support with evidence. So yes, a non-answer is a dodge.

OK, I checked back on all your posts here on this, so let's cut down to the nitty-gritty for clarification's sake: Do you accept the basic ToE in the sense that life forms have evolved over billions of years? A simple yes or no will do.

I'll see ya after the weekend is over, so take care.

Have you ever seen a gorilla operating on a person?

Have you ever seen a human swim 10,000 miles as the gray whale does?

The national British school curriculum contains a science topic called Humans Are Animals. What do you make of that?

Well i doubt it could be done with a bird heart but im not a heart surgeon

Do you have proof of highlights or is it simply your opinion?

Yes but not for mankind.

Yes but not for mankind.

So God is a lair. That is such an interesting belief.

As I said... varying degrees of similarity.

Hmm... it is amazing how you can pull a rabbit out of a hat.

I think the evidence is obvious. Have you seen any of the animal kingdom in a worship service to god or gods?

Psychology is the study of the soul - the mind. You do believe that animals have minds, right?

Hardly. But then to not realize that one is calling God a liar one only has to be massively ignorant about the science that one denies.

You should really watch the interview that I posted of Dr. Mary Schweitzer. She is a Christian and a former YEC. She too recognizes that you have that belief.

This is rather odd/ Now you seem to be claiming that animals are more intelligent than humans.

What you said originally was that it couldn't be done. Not sure whether you mentioned kidney or liver and I'm not going back to refresh my memory. Which of course is why SZ and myself both provided a link to show that it could be and has been done.

What has worship to do with it?

Actually a soul is the spiritual or immaterial part of a human being or animal, regarded as immortal. Not the mind which is a series of biochemical reactions in the material brain that ceases to function at death... All animals have one

Psychology is assuredly not the study of the soul. Psychology is the study of the mind and behaviour. This includes non-human behaviour. Soul and mind are not synonyms. I studied psychology as my B.Sc. at university. I'm guessing you have not studied it.

 

[Heyo]

Yes but not for mankind.

Why not? As I understand, you are a dualist. Can't you imagine the physical form of us to obey the laws of nature, i.e. the ToE, and the spiritual part being added on later?

You are correct. My error. But before that I also said that the organs and appendages have similar DNA

I disagree. In my scriptures they are not the same.
