The baha'i faith was founded by an individual called Baha'u'llah, and is the latest in a long line of individuals that God has sent throughout history to teach humanity the right spiritual path. Those individuals include, Jesus Christ, Moses, the Buddha, Prophet Muhammad and the Bab, all are divine Messengers / Teachers from God and Baha'u'llah is the latest of these divine Messengers / Teachers. The word Baha'u'llah means the glory of God.
Just like those who follow Jesus Christ are called christians and those who follow Prophet Muhammad are called muslims, we who follow Baha'u'llah are called baha'is.
We believe in the concept of progressive revelation, meaning that in each age around about 1000 years and in different places God manifest an individual to be a divine Messenger / Teacher to guide humanity to the right spiritual path.
Unity is the flagship word of this faith.
For instance:
the unity of God
the unity of religion
the unity of science and spirituality
the unity of humanity
all things in this faith revolves around the word "unity."

Like I said all of these are basically divine qualities of God. But society just doesn't know it. We demonstrate these every day.
It's not like I made all this up on my own. I learned this through the divine teachings that is called the baha'i faith.
Have you ever heard of the baha'i faith?Quote:Intelligence is not a divine quality. All species have intelligence.
............I think there are some things on your list up there that other species also have.
I'm familiar with the faith. Participated on a bahai'i board for awhile. Real nutballs.
Sure.
All animals can display some the names and attributes of God, but on a low level. It is only the human animal that can potentially display "all" of the names and attributes of God, at the highest level.
