hahaha dolphins can't accomplish what we can? so what if cockroaches can't do what we can? cockroaches will probably out live us even if they can't build skyscrapers and nuclear bombs.

I believe it has been established that his "yardstick" (if you will) for measuring the space between humans and those animal thingies is the existence of a soul. Seeing that he cannot prove a soul exists and yet he clings to the idea, this conversation will never come to a logical conclusion. Wanting to be different from "animals" is the entire reason he debates these issues, imo.

They'll probably out live us because they can't build skyscrapers and nuclear bombs. In both cases, these are not two of our greater accomplishments.
So has Soulboy come up with any evidence or just stating that he has a soul. I really can't be bothered going back to look.

And what about animals that can do amazing things that we can't? We can't fly, swing through trees, open nuts with our teeth, sniff out food that is miles away, see a rat move through grass from a quarter mile away, hear extremely high (or low) pitched sounds, dive into the deepest parts of the ocean, run 50 miles an hour, or use our own personal radar to find things in the dark. Try dropping a naked human into the ocean, middle of the desert, the arctic, or the wilderness and see how long he survives. In many ways, animals are superior to us!
Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.
God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?

For one thing, they never wasted any of their time inventing gods to worship.
Animals are far too smart for that.

And you've managed to prove this discussion to be a complete farce by choosing to ignore all of the evidence presented to you and re-writing your standards of evidence as we present it to you. You equate blind faith to be the same thing as science, ignoring the all of the evidence it relies upon. You have yet to explain many important points about your positions and you've answered no inquiries on this topic.
You're wasting everyone's time and energy.
If today you can take a thing like evolution and make it a crime to teach in the public schools, tomorrow you can make it a crime to teach it in the private schools and next year you can make it a crime to teach it to the hustings or in the church. At the next session you may ban books and the newspapers...
Ignorance and fanaticism are ever busy and need feeding. Always feeding and gloating for more. Today it is the public school teachers; tomorrow the private. The next day the preachers and the lecturers, the magazines, the books, the newspapers. After a while, Your Honor, it is the setting of man against man and creed against creed until with flying banners and beating drums we are marching backward to the glorious ages of the sixteenth centry when bigots lighted fagots to burn the men who dared to bring any intelligence and enlightenment and culture to the human mind. ~Clarence Darrow, at the Scopes Monkey Trial, 1925
Politics is supposed to be the second-oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first. ~Ronald Reagan

Nope, you are a farce. You have not been able to backup your position whatsoever and answer my questions. I call that blind faith.

There's evidence for evolution. You just have faith in your faith.
