We are creatures with limited capabilities. However, we are different from other living creatures by having minds. We were created by God to be tested in our lives whether to obey his commands or not, and that is why we were given minds, to be able to make a choice about it. And all the universe around us is part of that test. On the other hand, our limited minds are not capable of understanding the entity of God, but to know him through his actions, creations, and books that were revealed to the prophets.

I think we are a bunch of self-centered, egotistical, arrogant and narcissistic, violently ignorant animals. We kill without purpose or need, we torture those who cannot defend themselves, we think we are somehow better and smarter than all other life on the planet(really we arent).. All we do is take take take and never give back to the earth and nature. We kill one another incessantly and uselessly over imaginary being/s in the sky, we are so materialistic as to be virtually incompetent on our own without our money or technology... we have lost all vestiges of our wilderness wisdom, we are weak, pathetic and helpless against our own planet as it is naturally.. and worst of all we are drowning in our own ignorance.... The only good thing about us is that some of us see all our faults and are trying to correct them, whether or not we will change our ways remains to be seen but unless we do it is likely we will cause our own extinction.
"It is just like mans vanity and impertinence to call an animal dumb because it is dumb to his dull perceptions. Heaven is by favor; if it were by merit your dog would go in and you would stay out. Of all the creatures ever made he (man) is the most detestable. Of the entire brood, he is the only one...that possesses malice. He is the only creature that inflicts pain for sport, knowing it to be pain. The fact that man knows right from wrong proves his intellectual superiority to the other creatures; but the fact that he can do wrong proves his moral inferiority to any creature that cannot." - Mark Twain - American author/humorist (1835-1910)
"This we know. The Earth does not belong to man; man belongs to the Earth. This we know. All things are connected like blood which unites one family. All things are connected. Whatever befalls the Earth befalls the sons of the Earth. Man did not weave the web of life; he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself." - Chief Seattle, His address, 1853
"Our task must be to free ourselves...by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty." - Albert Einstein - Physicist (1879-1955)

I am like king David, what is man that thou art mindful of him? He said to God.
What does God know about us, that we should know? If your a decent person and truely mindful of God, as the word says he is of us, if your among nine people that are not mindful of him, what kind of mind do they have toward you?
No twenty people can read a bible chapter and come with less than twenty ideas.
No twenty people can go theough the bible to calculate the time given from Adam to now and come up with the same amount of time.
Are humans in agreement on any thing?

We're sinners: imperfect and unclean.
We usually know what we want, and will go through extreme measures (and extreme stubbornnes to get it).
We're approximately 65% water (depending on whether you're a man, woman, or child).
We were all born with a virtual hole in our hearts, and we make it our goal to fill it with anything, although the only thing that will satisfy the emptiness is Christ.
We like to feel victimized, like it's somebody else's fault we are the way we are.
We like to claim we are self-made. Some of us are, unfortunately.

Humans posses greatest intelligence over other living entities in this planet, therefore our duty as superiors is to serve and protect those whom we consider to be at a lower stage. However most humans use this superiority to abuse and exploit. This abusive and exploitative nature makes them lower than those whom they abuse and exploit, therefore their next birth will be among the lower species to be abused and exploited by others. This is called the laws of karma and the cycle of repeated birth and death or reincarnation.

i think humans are a virus..... we spread, we consume, we destroy, the we spread again......
true we have our good sides, but there are more greedy bad people then there are good. and not to mention our war hungry appetites. why do you think that in all of our history, there has never been a time when all humans didnt fight for a day...... there is always a war going on somewhere... rather it be civil or state or countries.... we always fight... even with our neighbors and friends, lovers, families. its in our nature to destroy... hence we are a virus......

Unlimited potential with little drive to use it...We're too busy being being caught up in our petty differences.
