Some people want us to regress and even want to be considered just another animal.
We are animals, dude. We're organisms, sharing a planet with other organisms. And you'd better actually support your baseless little assertion about god seeking there, before you start telling me what makes me human, okay? One of my biggest pet peeves around here is being told what I believe.
I didn't say that we're not animals..I said that we have an intrinsic capacity within us that takes us above being simply an animal, in fact a perfect example of it is not following instinctual behavior. We can be simply an animal if we choose to do so, many people do. If you like to be thought of as simply an animal I have no problem with that.
