Because when you knock off an ant, it staggers around and then walks off. Imagine that happening to us. And no I don't have ants in my pants.

In a fight a Human would be stronger as things stand, if you then scale the Ant up to the size of a Human it would be a different matter. If an Ant was the same size as the average human it would be able to lift the tongue of a grey whale (1.5 tonne). Ants have an exoskeleton and an anatomy which allows it to absorb lots of impact which is why they stagger then walk off as if unscathed.

No, ants aren't stronger than humans, but they're much smaller than us so gravity doesn't play such an important role in determining how fast they fall. Air resistance slows them down so that they don't hurt themselves after a fall.
Mice can also survive great falls without hurting thamselves for the same reason. Some have been known to survive falling down mineshafts.

First define stronger.... We obviously can lift more weight than they can, but ants are stronger by body wieght. What I mean is that an ant can lift up to 50 times its body weight, humans cannot.

Ants are way more stronger than us, pound for pound. They can lift 3 times there own body weight, they can walk alot further than us etc.

Relatively but not absolutely, i.e. an ant can lift 60x its body weight, i can't lift 60x my body weight, but the heaviest weight i can lift is heavier than the heaviest weight an ant can lift.
