Foundational Falshoods of Creationism

[TeyshaBlue]

Sentience may be just a matter of degrees. Other animals such as dogs for example may be aware of their surroundings, they feel, taste, smell, etc, but they are allso better capable than us in certain areas. Dogs seem to know when an epileptic is going to have a fit before the human does.
Some animals can sense earthquakes before they occur.
Why is that?
Why can't humans do this?
So who are we to say that whats makes us the top of the animal kingdom is our ability to be sentient, or self aware?

When a dog signs my paycheck I'll give up the throne of sentience.

That doesn't matter. I'm asking why it's okay to kill an animal but not a human? According to science, humans are animals.

You mean the Bible? The book where I get all of my beliefs from?

[Shastafarian]

Define "okay"

[RD2191]

And these questions are for RandomGuy. Even though he ran off like a little girl.

Good answer.

When a dog cooks me dinner, I will.

This is the point where words are distorted and asked to be "defined".

RG gave up the ghost, at least in this thread.

[Shastafarian]

No I'm just trying to cut through the bull to follow. Morally ok? Ok based on what? It's a vague term.

[RD2191]

So if humans aren't animals then what are we?

[spurraider21]

humans absolutely are animals... not sure where this question arose

[RD2191]

So then why is it okay to kill an animal but not a human?

[Shastafarian]

Humans are in the kingdom Animalia so yes by that definition we are animals.

[Shastafarian]

So then why is it okay to kill an animal but not a human?

Waiting for you to tell me what your word "okay" means. With respect to a person's beliefs? Societal beliefs? Religious?

[spurraider21]

So then why is it okay to kill an animal but not a human?

because we're higher on the food chain and thats how nature works. eat or be eaten. there is no "ok"... heck morals are all just manmade ideas and dont really exist in nature.

[Shastafarian]

I can see why RG gave up

[HI-FI]

Yup...and the guy wasn't even in the POTM. He deserves it tbh.

co-signed.

[RD2191]

So how can RG claim something is evil if it doesn't exist?

[xmas1997]

So then why is it okay to kill an animal but not a human?

When you get right down to it, it probably isn't okay to kill animals, but then that means I would have to give up a good steak.
I really like a good steak, and I love bacon too.
So please, don't spoil it for me, I prefer to live in ignorance when it comes to that

[RD2191]

I can see why RG gave up

Because she is not sure of her beliefs.

[RD2191]

because we're higher on the food chain and thats how nature works. eat or be eaten. there is no "ok"... heck morals are all just manmade ideas and dont really exist in nature.

So its okay to kill a human in your eyes?

[RandomGuy]

You and I are in much agreement upstairs on the Spurs and on Kyle Anderson, but down here, there is no way anyone can condone what you are asking.
Why on earth would you or anyone else want to hack babies to death?

Why on earth indeed. It is a horrible, evil thing to do. It was evil thousands of years ago, and is evil today.
