Humans are not animals, and there is proof of God because... Even most atheists believe in living by morals.?

Question

No animals live with morals. Animals live only by instinct Humans are the only creature on earth who feel the need to live by right and wrong(good and evil)
This separates us from all animals.

How can any person not see that humans are obviously very different from all other creatures?

Since we are not animals we are gods

Most of your answers prove my point. We are more different than science will admit.

Many of you use the argument...Look at all the terrible atrocities humans commit. When you say this you are proving my point--humans aren't animals.

Some of you say...look deeper... come out of the shallows... I invite you to do the same. We are more than this crude matter. Just because we want to survive doesn't make us animals.

Answer 1

I can't believe most of these answers...seriously.

We have a BRAIN that is why we are not considered "Animals" per say...Scientist Label things such as animals or plants, but I ask them...Why are we called Humans? Man/Woman would be our "Name" (in example of cat or dog)

We also know that animals live by no morals, because they eat each other in the middle of the road. Have you ever seen an animal stop eating a dead armadillo because he felt it was wrong?

Now I don't necessarily say that is proof of a God, But I will say that is a huge difference

*edit
as well why is everyone saying that we have similarities...but we just don't know,

too answer it would...we do..or we don't simple as that.
evolution is a great idea, but too many missing pieces, too say it's reason or anything to be followed.

no ape ever left me a book to read...

Answer 2

Actually, many animals do engage in "moral" behaviour although this is certainly not self-aware moral behaviour. Human morality is a complex outgrowth of instinctive behaviours associated with being a social animal and child rearing.

I agree that human beings are different from animals but its a matter of degree not absolute demarcation

Answer 3

rofl...

How do you know animals don't live by their own set of morals, hmm? Can you talk to animals and actually understand what they're saying back to you? Since no other human being on earth can do that, it would be quite an accomplishment and you should be on the news.

We ARE animals. Get used to it.

Btw, since when are people so great? Have you even noticed the cruel things we do to each other? Or are you just ignoring things like the Inquisition, WW1 and 2, etc? Or how about specific incidences like Vlad Tepes who impailed his victims on stakes slowly so that it could take them a week to die while the stake slowly moved through their body going through their anus? Or how about Hitler who had millions of Jews burned alive in giant ovens?

You have a very serious problem. Animals never did any of those things, but PEOPLE are most definately capable of them.

Answer 4

You are still splashing around in the shallows! Come out into deeper water!

Survival is the key to evolution....in order for our species to survive we had to live in harmony with one another....a tribe. Morals were a natural part of tribe society. Thousands of years before your bible was written society had morals. Many other species of animals DO have morals. In fact humans are the most ammoral creatures on this planet....we kill for sport, we are cruel for fun, we are wasteful to the extreme.

Now christians may not be animals (they were made from dirt)....they do seem to be some sort of anomaly.....a creature that claims to have morals....yet doesn't follow them.....

Answer 5

perhaps you just do not understand the morals of animals, just as some do not understand the morals of atheists.

have you ever read studies on elephants, who mourn their dead, and rarely--if ever--kill each other? or how about bonobo 'chimps' who are one of the most peaceful species of primate (who are also self-aware, btw)?

humans are different, as every species is different from the others, but that does not mean we are not animals. we certainly aren't plants, bacteria, or fungi... perhaps we're viruses? (jk)

Answer 6

No animal commits atrocities on a scale close to what humans can achieve. Your argument may be etended to claim that our self-awareness makes us significantly BELOW the moral character of most animals. Still want to run with this one?

There is no god.

Answer 7

You're separated from the animals? How? Many species of animal claim sole mating rights to only one female for life... how are male humans different? How is maltreating other humans because you don't like them, you don't agree with their way of life, who they are or where they were born any more superior than animals?

Think deeper...

Answer 8

I think you are not looking deeply enough at both humans and animals. Keep on observing it all very closely.

It's all soul, free2b, all of it. Look into your dog's eyes. It's obvious there is somebody home. We're all limited by the equipment we're riding in.

Answer 9

Au contraire!

All animals that live in social groups have moral behaviors that are reinforced by the group. Failure to live by the morals can lead to consquences, beginning at correction and leading up to ostracization or even death.

Observe chimpanzees, wolves, lions, and penguins.

Just because you are unfamiliar with other species doesn't make them "very different." It only makes you poorly informed.

Answer 10

Animals live in cooperative societies. Why they cooperate is something we can't know but the ways in which they cooperate are the same as the ways in which humans cooperate. "Morals" are part of the natural order of things.
