But then, he is a linguist and philosopher, not a biologist, so he can be forgiven for thinking that language is unique to humans
this is the typical bullshit that is thrown at us, without a hint of proof. The video begins with : even if we ( monkeys and we, humans ) wouldn't know we are related.......
At least I don't KNOW this. And i don't believe this. In think its always a agression to my intelligence, when i see such assertions on tv. As this would be a fact...... As long as there are no conclusive proofs, they should not sell pure guess as a fact.
Moreover : We can see ourself in their faces
If the speaker does this, fine for him. I don't see myself in their faces. Neither do i believe, we share a long familiy history. He can't prove this either. This is the typical bullshit i hate. Evolutionists portraying things in a way, as their way of seeing things would be uncontroversial, and being accepted by everybody. Thats not the case.
What makes us human, may not be unique, after all.
We can however think abstractly, appreciate beauty, express love, make decisions, and know to distinguish what is right, and wrong. We have also a spirit, and can accept or reject God in our lives.
No animal, no ape is able to do this.
I think the beginning of this video is so much full of sh**** and lies, its worthless to see it all.
If there is a further message, you wish me to know, just present it here in your own words, and we can discuss it. I don't want to waste my time further.
