I still want to know why Atlas responded to "there's a clear logical fallacy in your argument that renders it untenable," with "why do we sleep?"

The suggestion that apes have been doing -anything-....since the beginning of time, is laughable.

I believe thanks to God it stands as a fact that only humans have. We are the only creatures capable of reason after all.

Lol due to security I was actually struggling against the lions thing about a week ago. Apes is another story but nothing worth sharing with anyone else.

Haphazard a guess?
The troll doth protest too much, methinks.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

We are not the only creatures capable of reason. Have you done any research into animal behavioral experiments before you decided what is and is not included in that field of study?

I don;t know, octopi are choice problem solvers....chimps outperform humans reliably on puzzlebox and memory experiments. If they're not reasoning their way to the solution..than our "god given" reason appears to be inferior to whatever it is all the other problem solvers are using in many cases.
