That's on the biological level that we need. But the conscious needs which are produced by our "moods", thoughts, dreams are the difference. Here is where fire and engines differ as unique productions of humanity, other biological forms don't have to "cook" or "use a torch to see in the dark". I don't even think they can make sense of "fast" and "slow", thus never needing an engine.

Wow. You just made me realize I'll probably never have that before I die. I'd be lucky to get one from a 5.

If what you have is objective knowledge of goodness, then God is not relevant.

This is going way off the point I was clarifying.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Looks like MK abandoned his thread yet again. Lather, rinse, repeat. *jerk off*

Hey, there's nothing wrong with the highest possible pretty damned good.
Plant a flag, declare victory, and revel in your good fortune when the time comes.

That's on the biological level that we need. But the conscious needs which are produced by our "moods", thoughts, dreams are the difference. Here is where fire and engines differ as unique productions of humanity, other biological forms don't have to "cook" or "use a torch to see in the dark". Neither do we. We enjoy cooked meat and light in the dark.......but then so do dogs, so?

....I'm pretty sure a cheetah has to understand relative velocity, and theres simply no relationship between understanding fast and slow and "needing an engine". None. Nada. Bupkiss. That's not even a coherent thought in a vacuum.
I sometimes wonder what it is you -are- trying to say, when I grant the generous assumption that you aren't a complete nutball, and whatever you mean is entirely lost in translation.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
