Disclaimer: In previous interactions, I have noticed a reflex-like tendency for many here to respond as if there is a lurking argument for God's existence waiting to emerge from my posts. I can assure you that this thread does not include that intention (nor is there any intention for an argument, I really just want to talk). I am here to learn about the ways other people understand reality, especially the ways in which atheists so understand. No need to try and "head him off at the pass!" or "predict" or "categorize" the latent argumentative angle. If something is not clear, I am a human being and you can ask me directly. I will do my best to clear it up. I am an imperfect and not particularly likable person, so I ask for your patience as well. Now to my question(s)...
What is a homo sapiens according to the secular humanist anthropology?
You might phrase the same question this way: What (if anything), besides genetic code and genetic expression, distinguishes a thing as human?
This seems to me a fundamental question for which someone who ascribes to secularhumanism to have a robust answer, or at least a question which occupies a central aspect of the worldview. Thanks in advance for your input!
