You're typing an awful lot in response to someone that has no idea what they're talking about. ^_^


Meh idk what ur talkin bout, i seem to be the only one with a shred of evidence (probably caz there is no valid evidence that we are anything special)
And sure a 4.0 Gpa college student dont know what hes talkin bout lol
Even if i am a computer science major what u got under ur belt?

Under my belt, I have some knowledge that you don't.
I happen to know that a 4.0 gpa does not mean you can pull any sentence out of your ass that you think is right, and it will be.
I happen to know that getting a better mark in school than someone does not make you more intelligent. In fact, they could be the most intelligent person on the planet.

Are we animals by genetics? Yes, however the developement of our brain at a faster rate than other animals is what gave us our advantage.. In all honesty.. an early human is a poor excuse for an animal. No claws or sharp teeth, no way of physically defending itselft from a larger attacker. in comparison to other animals, we are very slow and only moderately agile.. We have a long gestation period and poor successful birth rate, our pregant are even more slow and defenseless. In all honesty I am am amazed that humans evolved in such a way that we are on top of the food chain.. Yes after the early humans figured out how to make tools and simple weapons that did give us a huge advantage.. And once we actually figured out how to throw a weapon we where really on our way.. but up until that point, i simply do not understand how we survived.. Alot of running and staying in the trees i guess?

Im well aware of those facts, how about these facts?

At one time it was believed that white people where superior to black people,
At one time it was believed that men where superior to women,
Hell at one time it was believed that the earth was flat...
SO
How can you knowing that none of these are true sit by and accept what is believed when there is evidence that it is not true?

Now ur the one who called me dumb so naturally askin what u got under ur belt shouldnt insult you at all
BUT
if you are so smart what do you have to say about this? Are you going to sit by with the masses and just believe what is commonly accepted or are you going to at least look over the evidence before you come to a conclusion

If you didnt speak English then Einstein would seem awful dumb to you in a one on one conversation. Can you speak the language of other animals? No (thought so), So HOW can you say how smart they are, if if you deny that, then you obviously have NO idea what youre talking about. The thing about this topic is that humans want to think they are better then anything else on this planet so they believe it naturally. About our almighty brain, chimpanzees actually have better short term AND long term memory then us, Gorillas can learn sign language, bees talk through dance, ants talk with there mandibles, these things are more similar to us then "OH LOOK DUDE APES USE LIL STICKS WE DID THAT ONCE, WERE EXACTLY THE SAME", especially sense the biggest commonly thought difference between humans and animals is language. Now "OH LOOK DUDE APES USE LIL STICKS WE DID THAT ONCE, WERE EXACTLY THE SAME" does take up the other major difference, technology, and once again if given an enormous amount of time to develop using lil sticks turns into using light bulbs and cars, how can i say this... well because that is exactly what happened to humans.


And they can't speak ours, what is your point? That a superior species would be able to speak all the languages of all the species, do you know how absurd this is? Firstly, as you know, most animals cannot reproduce the sounds we make because of the difference between our mouth shape and dimension. Same goes for us, we would need to grow an incredible number of mouth to communicate verbally.

Maybe white does > black.. Maybe men do > women. Or maybe the other way around.
None of them have been proven wrong.

I did not call you dumb. I do not insult people. You could be smarter than me you could be dumber, but there will always be things I am smarter than you at, and things that you are smarter than me at. I personally know nothing about computer science.

You have not given any real evidence. You have not even given the definition of an animal... which should have been the first thing you stated in your argument.
You haven't given an alternative to what we could be instead. You have listed facts, but you have not connected them into one base argument. You've only said that we are "different". EVERYTHING in life is different. Literally speaking.
