All of those questions are not yes and you know that.
Like I've been saying, all of those are the the manifestations in the physical world of the divine reality that only the human being possesses. We are the only animal species that can do those.
OFC we're not, and it's trivially easy to point out examples all over animalia, of which we are also a member.
This is exactly the kind of nonsense I'm talking about. If you think that your god and your gods message deserve any respect or credence whatsoever, perhaps you should be the first to apply them? We were talking earlier about living our values..and even though that may not prove those values true, that at least proves that we hold them.
Well....I'm having a hard time believing that you hold the values you espouse, with how lazily and unfairly you've treated the subject of the divine. At the very least, if you absolutely refuse to give up the basic thrust of your assertions, you could concede that if they were true, then it would be demonstrably true that god spread the divine gift wide and far to all sorts of species.
