Thought question, why do humans have such a higher reasoning ability than animals? Isn't that proof of God?

Question

We can communicate with each other because we have a soul, which is mentality, emotion, and reasoning capability, which God would have to give us in order for us to know him?

NOT knocking anyone just food for thought, what are your views?

Answer 1

i believe it is one of many evidences.
man was created as a rational, volitional agent—in other words, man can reason and man can choose

the immaterial part of man sets us apart from the animal world and enables us to commune with our maker. it is a likeness mentally, morally, and socially.

Answer 2

Okay first thing's first, your tone is beyond arrogant and with no real foundation on which to rest your ego. You obviously haven't researched enough, and if you have, you haven't been understanding it. Evolution is theory, not an absolute point; It's something that was and still is being developed through observations, not speculation. It's ACTUAL QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH. To your complete misinterpretation of adaptation, that is COMPLETELY different than evolutionary adaptation. The type of adaption you're referring to is the ability to become accustomed to something, this is NOT what happens in evolution. Adaption does not occur to a single entity, you cannot base your argument on a single sample and claim a change is evolutionary, because its not, evolution happens over GENERATIONS. The genetic differences in EVERY generation gives rise to new possibilities, and new traits that allow for better survival and ability to propagate. In a group of 50 sharks, 40 of which have no teeth cannot eat. They do not just grow teeth and are able to eat because they adapted. Those 40 DIE OUT. The 10 that survive are more fit for their environment due to their genes that allowed for such teeth, as a result, these 10 sharks propagate, and soon enough, all the sharks that end up surviving will have teeth. I suggest you change your tone and your view of the world. What you are doing is undermining the intelligence of the entire intellectual world. Grow up, get the info, then make your argument, WITH sound reasoning, not to mention respect.

Answer 3

On the last day of creation, God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness” (Genesis 1:26). Thus, He finished His work with a “personal touch.” God formed man from the dust and gave him life by sharing His own breath (Genesis 2:7). Accordingly, man is unique among all God’s creations, having both a material (body) and an immaterial (soul / spirit) part.
The image of God refers to the immaterial part of man. It sets man apart from the animal world, fits him for the “dominion” God intended (Genesis 1:28), and enables him to commune with his Maker. It is a likeness mentally, morally, and socially.
Mentally, man was created as a rational, volitional agent—in other words, man can reason and man can choose. This is a reflection of God’s intellect and freedom. Any time someone invents a machine, writes a book, paints a landscape, enjoys a symphony, calculates a sum, or names a pet, he or she is proclaiming the fact that we are made in God’s image.

Answer 4

Humans can talk to each other in a very intelligent and intellectual manner. This is because we are very social animals and the technology we have was only made possible by being able to share ideas accurately.

Some primates and monkeys have fairly sophisticated levels of communication. In fact there is one monkey that can lie. This shows some empathy, does it have a soul then? These monkeys live in groups and they have a certain warning cry for "Snake! Get in the trees now" and one for "Eagle! Everyone get down!". If a sneaky monkey sees another monkey enjoying a particularly nice peice of fruit, it might warn there is a snake, and the monkey will drop the fruit and scamper up a tree, leaving the other monkey to steal the fruit.

Further down the scale, social animals and pack animals have methods of communication both visual and audible, antelope use their white tails to communicate and wolves howl to each other.

Bees dance to guide the rest of the hive to the best flowers.

Solitary animals have very little reason to communicate, and basic organisms can't.

Seems like a natural progression in the level of communication.

Answer 5

1. Allah (SWT) 'God' is only 'One', has no partner or son, and neither gives birth, nor is He born. He is eternally besought by all and has no beginning or end, and none is equal to Him (Holy Quran example)
2. He is the Merciful and the Compassionate, the Guardian and the True Guide, the Just and the Supreme Lord, the Creator and the Watchful, the First and the Last, the Knowing and the Wise, the Hearing, and the Aware, the Witness and the Glorious, the Able and ' the Powerful. (Holy Quran example).
3. He is the Loving and the Provider, the Generous and the Benevolent, the Rich and the Independent, the Forgiving and the Clement, the Patient and the Appreciative, the Unique and the Protector, the Judge and the Peace. (Holy Quran example). The question of Allah's (SWT) 'God' existence has preoccupied men's minds for many centuries. Those who believe in Allah (SWT) 'God' seem to agree that the limited finite human intelligence cannot prove the existence of the infinite boundless of Allah (SWT) 'God'. It can only illustrate or demonstrate his existence to the satisfaction of the curious human mind.
Those who deny Allah's (SWT) 'God' claim to rely on science, philosophy, or special theories of knowledge. Their arguments are sometimes inapplicable, sometimes irrelevant, always complex, and often incomprehensible. However, the developed mind will find its way to Allah (SWT) 'God'. Failure to find the way does not mean that there is no way. Denial of reality does not make it unreal.

Answer 6

I'm not so sure about that, animals can communicate with each other, not necessarily with words, but other vocalizations and body language.

Take the lions on the prowl for example, they need communication to organize and choreograph a perfect hunt.

Or wolf howls that keep the pack together and foes away, growls and nips that punish, submissive behavior for Alpha male and female, there has to be some kind of communication or none would know who the Alpha was, not to mention complete chaos.

Answer 7

Humans that use their higher reasoning ability all com to the same conclusion. The likely hood of any god existing in is extremely low. No proof has ever been found. Many religion with their own gods have com and gone. But human kind is still here. If there are gods they are doing a good job in hiding from us.

Answer 8

No, that is not a proof of god, it just prove humans evolved differently from other species.

Animals communicate with each other as well.

Animals have feeling as well.

Gen 1:31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

Answer 10

no, we have developed language as a result of our evolutionary path, which has given us self-awareness and perhaps more importantly, higher abstraction capabilities.
