I bumped a post ... just for you to QED my point that you won't understand anything.

See now I know this is a giant nuttin' burger. See you ended with your "QED" tag like you do so often when you want to pretend that you've just won an argument and try to shut it down.

(minus one or two things) as apes.

Man and animals both have or need to breath air, to add oxygen
to the blood. But there is one big thing that makes us different.

Animals are equipped with brain and instinct. But they do not
have power to understand and choose moral and spiritual values.
Neuroscientists have discovered that there is no big significant
difference when the human brain is compared to the animal brain.

Why is the human brain far superior to the animal brain?
What, then, can account for the vast difference in them ?
Why can’t science unlock all the secret of the human mind?

Because there is A nonphysical component in the human brain
that does not exist in the brain of animals. The bible mentions
"the spirit in man", every man and woman has this in them.

“There is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of
the Almighty giveth them understanding.” Job 32:8

The human spirit imparts the power of intellect to the human
brain. The human spirit does not supply human life — the human
life is in the physical blood, oxidized by the breath of life.
It separates mans brain and thoughts from animals instincts.

Scientists, with few exceptions, will not even consider the
likelihood of a nonphysical part of the human brain, that gives
us understanding. Man calls this spirit his Consciousness
Consciousness - Wikipedia

When man, in the name of science, denies—or by indifference,
ignores—his Maker, he blinds his mind to what he is, why he is,
where he is going, and what is the way. (Matthew 11:25)

Sure, there are some scientists who are that way, but many who are not (and are even devout Christians) but their science is the same.

Humans are not made of dust. You can check
the composition of dust and humans and compare..

In 1982 NASA’s Ames Research Center confirmed that every element in
man is found in the soil. Moses wrote it roughly 3,400 years prior.

The composition is more than just the presence of an element, the rough proportions matter too. Soil contains lots of minerals, much more so than organic matter. Humans don't contain much of the elements that make up minerals.

Moses wrote nothing about elements in humans or soil, because *no one* wrote about those things in ancient times. (There are no known writings of Moses anyway.)

Man and animals both have or need to breath air, to add oxygen
to the blood. But there is one big thing that makes us different.

Water animals don't breathe. Not all animals have blood.

Animals are equipped with brain and instinct.

Including humans, we have brains and instincts.

But they do not have power to understand and choose moral and spiritual values.

Other social animals also have moral systems. "Spiritual values" are meaningless.

Neuroscientists have discovered that there is no big significant
difference when the human brain is compared to the animal brain.

The components are the same, yep. The proportions are different For example the human brain has a much larger cerebral cortex.

Why is the human brain far superior to the animal brain?
What, then, can account for the vast difference in them ?
Why can’t science unlock all the secret of the human mind?

You were so close just prior to this... Check into neurobiology. They've learned a lot.

Because there is A nonphysical component in the human brain
that does not exist in the brain of animals. The bible mentions
"the spirit in man", every man and woman has this in them.

Brains are made of matter and function through the basic, well known, laws of physics.

“There is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of
the Almighty giveth them understanding.” Job 32:8

The human spirit imparts the power of intellect to the human
brain. The human spirit does not supply human life — the human
life is in the physical blood, oxidized by the breath of life.
It separates mans brain and thoughts from animals instincts.

The breath of life binds oxygen to hemoglobin. (As I already said humans also have instincts.)

Scientists, with few exceptions, will not even consider the
likelihood of a nonphysical part of the human brain, that gives
us understanding. Man calls this spirit his Consciousness
Consciousness - Wikipedia

Scientists study what they can find and detect.

When man, in the name of science, denies—or by indifference,
ignores—his Maker, he blinds his mind to what he is, why he is,
where he is going, and what is the way. (Matthew 11:25)

Science didn't exist when "Matthew" wrote his gospel, this translation is inaccurate. (I didn't ignore one of my makers tonight -- I called right back when I missed her call.)

So Can humans mate and have offspring with anything other then humans?
No they can not, Humans [a kind] can mate with other humans only for offspring.
A dog [another kind] can not mate with cats[another kind], to produce offspring.

But it isn't that clear when you have borderline cases.

Ring species demonstrate this:
Species 1 can breed with Species 2 who can breed with Species 3 who can breed with Species 4 who can't breed with Species 1.

This means that 1 and 4 both can and can't be defined as the "same kind".

We also have genetic evidence of separate species mixing after separating.

Personally I find the image of the skulls of extinct varieties of ape an excellent demonstration that it's impossible to demonstrate the difference between an "ape" and a "man".

That offends you, I get that. But the truth does often offend people.

That's because all of those skulls ... with one exception ... were human beings at one time.

Scientists study what they can find and detect.

" Despite millennia of analyses, definitions, explanations and debates by philosophers
and scientists, consciousness remains puzzling and controversial,

[2] being "at once the most familiar and [also the] most mysterious aspect of our lives".

[3] Perhaps the only widely agreed notion about the topic is the intuition that consciousness exists.

I am not offended by your belief that humans evolved from slime.

It's not a belief. That particular claim is based on a hypothesis, quite untested and quite unevidenced.

There is a lot of evidence that humans are a species of ape.

The study of abiogenesis: how pre-life chemical reactions gave rise to life.

Yes, it's a study, but it's not something that is a definitive fact. It's a scientific hypothesis.

So how did life begin, the "spark" of the big bang.
What was the first life form, that finale evolved into humans?

You say humans evolved from apes, apes evolved from something,
and that evolved from something, all the way back to first life form.

There has to be something that started it, if not God of Abraham, then what?

No-one has a definitive clue or idea and it could be anything. It could have been God. It could have been a spark of lightning in some slime. It could have been aliens, or a meteor from space.

That's why abiogenesis is a hypothesis, not a theory.
