The other animals are not cats because "other" means not the fucking first thing. How is it that you can form grammatically correct sentences if you can't understand that? Are you saying that all evolutionary systems were created by humans? No? Then those other ones are "other" evolutionary systems, and we cannot use observations about man-made systems to draw conclusions about them.
I think I have to exit this thread right now. I'm not able or willing to carry on a conversation with someone so desperate to preserve a pet idea that he has to start playing semantics with the word "other," and I don't want to say anything that will get me banned.
Buh bye.
