What do you think it is that separates us from animals? I have my own ideas on this, but was wondering what others think.

Our ability to reason, learn and know right from wrong. Our Consciences and our FAITH. Believing and trusting in something wholeheartedly sight unseen yet knowing and experiencing the Holy Spirit's power is most definitely a human experience. One must be human in order to hear God's whisper of wisdom, which will always lead us to happiness. Animals must live on instinct and routine. How their mothers teach them to survive. No changes unless they are domestic animals.

Empathy, compassion, and many emotional qualities; those can be far more important than the (potential) higher intelligence.

-----We are not satisified with what we have. No matter how good it is, we want more and better. Therefore, we progress. Other beings, like Neanderthal Man, did not want more and better all the time; he died out, replaced by us. Look around you. Almost all of almost everything that almost everyone has is luxury. No one has to have it. -----Jim
