Quote:But calling humans animals has semantically speaking a humiliating understatement and that's why I said that humans are NOT animals.
Calling humans animals is a not matter of opinion,but factually correct under the scientific system of classification uses universally. That you find it humiliating is irrelevant to the fact.
Your position is an argument from personal incredulity, a form of argument from ignorance. viz" I don't like it,therefore it's wrong"
The argument that humans are the most thoroughly evolved animals on the planet is an unproven assertion, dependent on one's definition of " evolved". IF you mean "most sentient", probably.If you mean best adapted,not even close. We are perhaps the most maladapted species.We have not adapted to our environment,we have adapted the environment to enable us to survive and often in ways which are unsustainable and damaging to the environment.
To accuse me of ignoring biblical directions to breed is an ad hominem attack,and untrue. I have a scholarly disagreement with your position and have given my reasons.That you disagree is fine,that's your right. That you rely on emotionalism and insults are indicators of willful ignorance.I have nothing more to say to you on this matter.
