But, as I said, we raised fire. None of the animal can do the similar. If you like to see the break down processes, it includes at least: find flint > make sparks > ignite small fibers > add fuel. So, tell me an animal which can perform a comparable process.
That is what human has and animals don't have. And it is NOT an evolutional product.
Sounds like you are describing atheists.And an ongoing process at that! Some people it seems cannot evolve further and their "Kind" are doomed to extinction!
ZING! --Beginning with Adam.
Veiled and hidden behind humour and poor parody it might be, an insult it is.Sounds like you are describing atheists.
A well evolved mind recognizes God.
"Since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, He gave them over to a depraved mind." (Rom 1:28).
Let me quote some more Wikipedia at you. Here is a discussion of feather evolution, with a phylogeny of dinosaurs that indicates the feather types known to be present in each group. You, sir, are wrong again.OK, that is obviously an advantage. If so, why most (?) of them don't? Was there not enough time?
By the way, is the so-called "feather" discovered not a full fledged feather, but only feather-like? It seems there was only ONE such thing found. If that is true, then I won't claim that they have feather. One is not good enough. There has to be at least 100 to make such claim.
Yes, they are classified as dinosaurs. They weren't in the old rank-based system, but the old system is really bad at dealing with evolution.Except may be the birds, which animal is evolved from dinosaurs (not classified as a dinosaur)?
Therefore, by definition, we are animals.I have said: none. Whatever single process we can do or we have, at least one animal also has it or can do it too.
Nah. Originally, it means nothing more than: find bushfire > pull out some burning stuff > take it home > feed the fire.But, as I said, we raised fire. None of the animal can do the similar. If you like to see the break down processes, it includes at least: find flint > make sparks > ignite small fibers > add fuel. So, tell me an animal which can perform a comparable process.
Where do you think brains capable of figuring it out come from?That is what human has and animals don't have. And it is NOT an evolutional product.

It is so, so ironic that in doing this you committed a No True Scotsman logical fallacy.Sounds like you are describing atheists.

Ye would surely be hanged, drawn and quartered! Fear not my good man for the colonists across the pond are devouring themselves in their ignorance!Veiled and hidden behind humour and poor parody it might be, an insult it is.
What would happen to me on here, pray tell, if I suggested that Christians were unevolved and depraved?

Therefore, by definition, we are animals.
(By the way, being an animal is not about sharing "whatever single process" with at least one animal. It's about sharing a particular set of characteristics with most* other animals. Well, more precisely it's about descending from a particular ancestor, but I don't think "animal" has a proper phylogenetic definition yet)
*I can't say "all", because it's possible to lose some defining characteristics of a group and still remain a member of that group. I can't think of an animal example off hand, but several parasitic plants do not photosynthesise at all - nevertheless, we still call them plants, because their ancestors were plants (and they are plants in every other respect than photosynthesis).
Nah. Originally, it means nothing more than: find bushfire > pull out some burning stuff > take it home > feed the fire.
But come on. Why single out fire?
Probably because all sorts of other toolmaking is rampant among apes and birds? And as I said, this is backward logic. If we went hunting for unique properties as grounds for exclusion, we could probably find something in most animals. The only thing that makes fire different is that it was stumbled upon by your favourite species.

Humans are at a great physical disadvantage compared to other animals. The only thing we excel in is our ability to reason.Monkey can do that too. But how come they failed to raise a new fire? Chimp can use simple tools. But why does it stop right there? All animals can sing, but why do they fail to make a chord?
I really despise anyone who is deliberately blind on the most obvious character of human and is willingly to call himself an animal.
Unless you want to explore on why is human different from animals (admit the fact first), then be yourself an animal. I have no interest to reason with an animal.
Sharks can't see like eagles.Sharks have unlimited supply of teeth.
Eagles have eyesight we can only dream of.
Cheetahs have speed that even our best athletes cannot dare achieve.
Orangutans have climbing abilities even our best gymnasts could never attain.
Bears have strength to overpower 10 men.
The list is just too long to mention here.
And creationists have the Gall to claim we are God's most perfect creation?
Chimp can use simple tools. But why does it stop right there? All animals can sing, but why do they fail to make a chord?
Which one of the above do you have the gall to say is God's most perfect creation?
Look, nowhere did I argue that humans can't do some things no one else can. That has never been our point of contention. I just pointed out that other animals are unique in other ways. What makes fire more special than silicate skeletons?Monkey can do that too. But how come they failed to raise a new fire? Chimp can use simple tools. But why does it stop right there?
Many animals can make sounds, but why do they fail at imitating sounds?All animals can sing, but why do they fail to make a chord?
Be my guest.I really despise anyone who is deliberately blind on the most obvious character of human and is willingly to call himself an animal.
Unless I agree with you, you don't talk to me?Unless you want to explore on why is human different from animals (admit the fact first), then be yourself an animal. I have no interest to reason with an animal.
None! We are all the result of evolution!Sharks can't see like eagles.
Eagles can't run like cheetahs.
Cheetahs can't climb like orangutans.
Orangutans don't have the strength of bears.
Bears don't have unlimited supplies of teeth like sharks.
Which one of the above do you have the gall to say is God's most perfect creation?
Overtone singing is a fairly primitive version of that, but humans certainly do do itWhat do you mean stop there? Also many birds do make chords and sing in harmony with themselves. Let's see a human singer sing a duet with themself!
