In general, humans will respond to instructions and warnings to keep themselves in line, but not animals why?

Question

In general or majority of humans has conscience and feeling. They will keep themselves within their own personal laws or general rules so as not to harm or hurt others and even animals including nature. But not the living creatures in the animal world. Is this due to lack of speech valcaburally or feelings. If God is believed then we know there is the difference. Humans are created in His nature and likeness. What's more He breathed into Adam life or living bible so that humans descending from Adam can behave or learn to behave like God. If the account of the fall is believed, then we can understand why we need to learn to behave like God. Humans of most ethnic groupings produce great philosophers who would write books to educate or show others the way to live to attain peace, love and harmony. Those who lead others to commit harms and wreak destruction of establishments could be influenced by the devil who succeeded in tempting Adam and Eve to sin. Humans in God's likeness and image.

Answer 1

The only question I see in all of that is "why not animals"? because they're animals! Goodness!

Answer 2

The big difference betwen humans and animals is that, like you said...in God's image... we have free will and speech and can think forward. Animals cannot do that and operate on instinct.
Example. When a mother elephant loses an offspring, either to being attacked and eaten or through accident, the mother 'seems' t grieve for a short while, but then somehow forgets and wanders off, maybe to breed again. Humans do not do this, and NEVER forget what they have lost. And through their use of speech and forward planning, can alter the world. Not always for the better, BUT CAN !

Answer 3

Actually animals, especially those that live in groups, have a very well developed sense of order. Study wolf packs, pods of dolphins and orcas and elephants, who have a well established matriarchal society.

The most organized, in-line and totally committed to their place in the community would be hive insects like ants, termites and bees.

As far as harming others, most animals do so only in defense or for prey. Humans don't seem to hesitate.

Answer 4

you are SOOOOO programmed. What a nice sheep you make.

YOU MAKE A TON of assumptions. The first is your belief in God.

The second is your BS statement about animals.

Do you even watch the nature channel or read? Do you know what books are? Or just FICTIONAL books like the Bible?

YOU CANT EVEN SPELL!

There is NOTHING to support your claim that animals dont have their own rules. Let me explain something to you moron. In the wild, a mother cat, not a GREAT cat, just a REGULAR 'domestic cat' who happens to be feral...anyhow, in the wild, a mother cat will teach her kittens to stay QUIET and to stay PUT when she leaves the 'nest'. When she returns with food, she emits a unique 'meow' that signals her kittens to come out of hiding. This prevents the kittens from being heard by predators when she isnt around.

THERES A TON OF EXAMPLES of this but since youre already programmed to believe the lies of the bible, whats the point in listing the rest.


The guy who talks about elephants is a complete moron. YOURE TOTALLY skewing reality when you state that the mother elephant seems to forget and wanders off. THATS TOTAL BS. In fact, when elephants come across the bones of another elephant they PASS THE BONES amongst themselves sniffing and holding the bones as if in communal GRIEF. They ONLY do this witrh ELEPHANT BONES, not other creatures remains, just other elephants. Youre such a low brow with a short attention span who does poorly on test dude. You cant even get it right when a nature program EXPLAINS IT TO YOU!
HUMANS HAVE DROWNED And BEATEN TO DEATH THEIR OWN CHILDREN. NOt to mention having sold other humans off into slavery and INVENTED WAR and the WORST TRAGEDY OF ALL< INVENTED GOD.....Youre such a moron. Go wash your pug.

Answer 5

thrilling thougths, yet i don't comprehend my cat, and neither do i comprehend ants, or sharks, or squids. So going by making use of your theory, then God does no longer comprehend me, that's quite available i think. I agree, that if there have been a God, then we could no longer start to comprehend the character of that God. How could we start to comprehend the character of an all-powerful being? i do no longer even comprehend my own nature a great style of the time, or the human beings around me, and that i dont be responsive to why i'm right here or what, precisely, i'm. And why do you think of that animals don't have a spirit? Animals are spirit creatures too.. havent you walked by way of a woodland at night? ;-) all the ideal, zag

Answer 6

you obviously haven't had much contact with animals or had a chance to observe their behaviors. for instance, a wolf pack has a very strict hierarchy and rules that must be followed, rules that keep the pack from turning on itself. wolves also have a complex language with which they communicate with pack members and other packs. all animals have rules they follow and not just within their own social grouping. there are inter species rules too. like which predator eats first at the kill regardless who killed it.

you're attempt to place humans above and outside Earth's animal
family is simply an exercise in human ego. there is not one human action you can point to that doesn't have a thread attached that leads back to animal instinct.

Answer 7

Humans and animals both have spirits but the souls of both are different. Animals was not born with humanistics reasonings like human beings. Yet they do similar things like human by smelling things, taste, body functioning, hear, sense things yet cannot talk and read and reasons like humans but then again you can now train some of them to instructions of doing some humanistic things.

Answer 8

Animals observe their own social rules and etiquette mainly based on dominance and submission much of it played out in gestures and animal language so I think your premise is wrong, they are much like us but on a different much more basic level. Humans are animals too after all.

Answer 9

They do. It's just that you don't understand them. Animals warn and instruct in different ways to humans and that make the information difficult for us to understand sometimes.

You christians need to syop underestimating other beings, or is it just that you feel superior to everyone and everything else

Answer 10

I agree with Hush Hush -- your premise is incorrect.

Animal species have their own societal rules. Submissive wolves in a pack know which male is the alpha and conduct themselves accordingly. They communicate their intent and are understood.

Answer 11

How do you know that animals don't have the same ability as humans ( one of Earth's animal species, a mammal)???
did you talk to them??
did you try to life with them as one of them???
If not
you don't have a clue.
Only your own imagination.
