And what about animals that can do amazing things that we can't? We can't fly, swing through trees, open nuts with our teeth, sniff out food that is miles away, see a rat move through grass from a quarter mile away, hear extremely high (or low) pitched sounds, dive into the deepest parts of the ocean, run 50 miles an hour, or use our own personal radar to find things in the dark. Try dropping a naked human into the ocean, middle of the desert, the arctic, or the wilderness and see how long he survives. In many ways, animals are superior to us!
This is how I see things as well. We are really useless animals.
Why (if you ignore the claims of an 8000 year old earth and go along with the religious who claim ID behind evolution) would god give all these other creatures brilliant tools for survival, like wings, better vision, better sense of smell or the ability to swim under water for long periods and yet after billions of years of learning what's good for survival and what's not leave us with what we have today?
Why do you find creatures with attributes in one part of the world that would also help the survival of another creature who dosen't have that attribute somewhere else? Could God not have gone back and changed the design of this creature? Learned from his other animals? Could God not have foreseen where his creations would go extinct and give them the tools to survive? Or could it be that there isn't design behind us, or anything, and we, and all living things, have survived by adaptation and evolution over billions of years?
Would also like to mention this is the first long winded thread I have read through on this site where so much evidence, and ideas and suggestions have been blind ignored by a obviously close minded person who already has his own answers formed for everything due to his faith. My frustration levels were high to say the least. I am now questioning whether it was a good idea to join this site at all. haha
