Evidence God Exists

[tavarish]

This is a perfect example of avoiding the real subject at hand and going into little tangent arguments. I didn't include all living cells and organisms when I said humans are the only species with sapient intelligence. Cells and organisms are not species. They are cells and organisms, and I can make the claim that God has a reason or purpose for each of those organisms. This point has nothing to do with the topic, except to sidetrack it to avoid answering the real question. How about sticking to the subject, people? Why are humans the only species, out of millions of species, who developed sapient intelligence?

This point has everything to do with the topic as a DIRECT REFUTATION to your assertion about mankind's dominion on Earth. It has been said again and again that intelligence is a result of our evolutionary path. It's not that the environment is suited for us, we adapt to our environment. You somehow ignore that point, then jabber on about how no one can admit your point is correct. No one's saying humans aren't intelligent. We're simply contesting the notion that our intelligence is somehow derived from a divine source and is superior to other unique traits that other animals have.

What the hell are you talking about? Cells ARE organisms.

In biology, an organism is any living system (such as animal, plant, fungus, or micro-organism).
In at least some form, all organisms are capable of response to stimuli, reproduction, growth and development, and maintenance of homeostasis as a stable whole. An organism may either be unicellular (single-celled) or be composed of, as in humans, many billions of cells grouped into specialized tissues and organs. The term multicellular (many-celled) describes any organism made up of more than one cell.

And many multicellular organisms are considered species, such as viruses. Here's a chart of virus taxonomy:

You ignore refutation after refutation, not even acknowledging the fact that even with our intelligence, we are subject to the collective actions of microscopic organisms. They don't just control the lives of humans, every single sentient being has to live within the boundaries of micro-organisms' feeding habits.

You want to stick to the subject?

Why are cheetahs the only species, out of millions of species, that can run 60mph?

Why are narwhals the only species, out of millions of species, that have a tooth that is 10feet long?

Why are Yeti crabs the only species, out of millions of species, that have hair on their claws?

Why are thorny devils the only species, out of millions of species, that have the ability to absorb water through its skin as a primary source of nourishment?

I'll give you a hint. It had everything to do with adaptations to their environment. It's the same reason we have "intelligence". A quick look at an evolutionary chart would clear some things up for you, methinks.

It has been very frustrating trying to get people here to talk about the real subject. When I make the claim that humans are the superior and most intelligent species, all I get is discussions about dolphins, fangs, and bacteria. I'm obviously dealing with very young people here, because their arguments remind me a little bit of kindergarten. Like when a teacher says something like, "Dogs like to eat bones." And a student raises their hand and says, "But my dog eats Alpo!" The teacher explains, "Yes, some of them like Alpo too, but as an instinct they gravitate towards bones." Another tiny student raises their hand and says, "But wait, my neighbor's dog loves to eat hot dogs." The teacher grabs their forehead and says, "Yikes!"

You're obviously a bit confused if you think that restating a tired argument wins points in a reasoned debate.


Let's do an analogy you might understand.

It's as if that that same child said to his teacher " I'm special because I can pat my head and rub my tummy at the same time!". The teacher then says: "The other boys are also special because they have unique qualities as well". Then the child says "But I can pat my head AND rub my tummy...AT THE SAME TIME! That makes me special!" Teacher says "Well yes, you are special, but so are the other boys in their own unique way.

The child then says " I'M THE ONLY KID IN THE CLASSROOM THAT CAN RUN HIS TUMMY AND PAY HIS HEAD SO OBVIOUSLY GOD FAVORS ME!"

You're the kid.
