Evidence God Exists

[tavarish]

So you'd disagree then Min that the human species is dominant?

I think you're misunderstanding the argument here.

Angel's saying that not only is our intelligence unique, it is special and dominant. While we do hold a certain level of dominance on land, our intelligence is a product of our evolution into a changing environment. Our intelligence is no less special than a dolphin's sonar, a bat's echo location, a dog's hearing, or a cheetah's speed. Every single animal is the world has unique traits, otherwise it quite simply wouldn't be here.

The whole point that we're trying to convey is that it's absurd and a bit foolish to say that just because it looks like we're at the top, God must have put us here. It's an argument from personal incredulity and doesn't look at the other factors in the equation. It also makes the assumption that we cannot be "overtaken" by another "intelligently special" species by process of evolution.

We're so special? Put us anywhere without electricity or tools. The vast majority would die within days. It's all a matter of environment. This is observable and demonstrable. Saying "God did it" isn't, and it's just intellectually dishonest.
