We humans are the most evoluted species of living creatures on earth is most evident and need no
explanations.But calling humans animals has semantically speaking a humiliating understatement and that's why I said that humans are NOT animals.
On the other hand everyone has the right to see himself as he pleases .
Yes
I'm really glad that you are familiar wit abrahamic faiths but I'm afraid that the commandment of the Bible saying "reproduce and multiply and fill all of the earth" was written on a page ripped off your Bible so you have no knowledge about it.
What you are saying about China and India is by no means contradictig what I'm saying about the religious influence on Birth control especially when it comes to Muslims.
The fact that even the post communist-economy China succeeds in the policy of birth control proves more than any reference to the past and to Confucianism that you have to combine a totalitarian regime with a secular minded population, as are the Chinese of today, in order to control the population growth of a country.
One can speculate about all kind of democratic ways to control the population but it is obvious that even when it comes to implement "green" policies,which are "kid games" as compared to birth control, the world is deeply divided and impotent in finding international accepted solutions.
Old Malthus spoke about the earth not being capable of feeding all humans but in his time Nature was perrenial and not on the verge of the destruction as we see it coming under our very eyes.
I don't see how man will get away with the oncoming cathastrophy due to the growth of population in the next ,say 50 years, without most violent mass-killing events.

Quote:I have very good news for you:humans are nor animals.
Did you mean "NOT"? If so,when did that miraculous change occur?
I have bad news for you:Human beings are indeed animals.That is the scientific consensus and has been for the last couple of hundred years at least.That we happen to be sentient animals capable of self examination has not made us consistently rational or reasonable either as individuals or as a species. Instinct remains our most powerful driving force.
