Blind faith and evolution

[Esquilax]

How do you know? How would you even propose to measure this?

Have you even been near a sperm whale before you decided this?

Dear Esq., you got to understand what is the consciousness and her role in the life of every creature.
Animals are driven by instinct while humans although they have some instinct they also have free will.
With the free will you are able to do the right thing and reach human emancipation.
The sperm whale or any other animal have still to reach the stage in which the free will will take over.

So, essentially your response to my asking you for proof of your completely bald, by fiat assertions is more by fiat assertions?

How do you know all this? Knowledge is demonstrated, not just asserted. How do you know whales are driven solely by instinct? How can you say they have no consciousness or free will? Whales spend their entire lives hanging out in the oceans like a boss, they seem pretty freaking smart to me.

Now, don't just assert your position again: demonstrate it. What makes you sure of this? Once again, have you even been near a sperm whale?
