What could a omnipotent God want with the worship of humans?

I'm not saying you can't make an arguement for it, what I am saying is that the hguman family model is not consistant with the evolutionary model shared by ever other species on the planet. The BBC artical I referenced supported this fact and that "the Human family structure biologically speaking very novel."

Quote:Not surprisingly there are many species, admittedly mostly primates, in which continued the support of older sisters and mothers is the primary factor in determining whether a first time mother will successfully raise her young to adulthood.
Noit according to the BBC Artical here. It says:
Quote:New research into primate societies is helping to answer that very question; shedding light on the origins of the human family.

The work attempts to explain how the family unit evolved, and why humans have different family structures to our closest relatives, the other great apes.

While there are similarities our family structure remain unique.

Quote: And there are other species that do similar things. Elephant herds are matriarchies run by the great-grandma.

Source material?

Remember I am not saying there are instances where simliarities can be found. What I am saying is that humanity's family structure is unique.

Being unique one of our hallmarks is the demand of worship/Directed or controls placed on expressions of love and respect from the older generation to the younger ones.

For you apes it is ok to smear poop on one another, not so much with jr. smearing poop on G-pa durning thanksgiving dinner. Even if Jr. is doing it to show that he loves g-pa.

You are trying to describe the neocortex.

And again no other animal aside from Humanity has such a complex family structure. Even liberal rags like this: http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/legacy/wonder...mily.shtml agree on this fact
:Razz:

you have to prove we have souls first before you say we have one.
