Can you tell me why humans are dominant on earth? We are not faster,or stronger,we can not see as well,or smell,or track prey. What makes us dominant in a world where we are in the same catagories as animals? Why are we special? How did we get that way? Can you Tell? Blessings..Miles

cuz we invented things like artillery

how did we get that knowledge? Go into the wilderness a 100 miles from anything with no cloths or shoes just you with all kinds of animals. Will you survive? Miles

We have the ablility to reason and think and plan where other animals do not. All the other abilities in the animal kingdom amount to nothing in the totall against the the ability to think. Like the saying goes brain over braun.

Read Genesis 1:28-29

Why is that? How did we get that ability? In the animal kingdom our reasoning will not win?...Miles

And what, please, is the other reason to delete this???


Really people

Why? because you can not explain our domination? Yet as the poster above who quoted Gen. Gives us the reason. This is the Religious thread . If thier is no creator why are you afraid of this topic?..Blessings..Miles

It's ok Miles, your topic is save

We are cheap, cheating monkeys who have learned how to make and use tools better than any other creature in nature.

Basically we've cheap-shotted our way to the top, but you know what we are here so I'm not complaining.

A Modern Human might not survive in the wild unless they trained themselves as survivalists for years, because we are so used to our damn tools, but privative man managed to MAKE their own tools and let's not forget fire. Very few land based creatures are not creeped out by fire.

Blessings Invisible.. I just want some logic..Thats all.. Miles

Cerebral development resulting in technology.

because we are skeeeeeered of the dark.

Because of intelligance. As per my belief, we were made in Gods image not by physical likeness but by mental capacity. We have what no other known forms of life has, an ability to not only comprehend complex problems and situations, but also the ability to actualy solve them. You could train some animals to do basic math, but it would take years and years of training for just a basic ability. We however have mastered astro physics and the like. Or, to put in simpleton terms, we have very stratigic minds, if an animal population becomes a danger to a human civilisation we come up with a strategy to protect those lives. And that's not even mentioning our amazing ability to create;^]

And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.

Where are all the non-believers. You do everything by logic.
You have tons of therories. Why thier is not creator. Yet Turtlepoet78 gives us a simple answer. Why is that so hard to believe. Can you build anything of us (ie..a car ect.) without
a learning manual to teach you? So jump in and tell us how we got to be dominant without a instruction manual how to do it?
Miles

Miles,

just a little distraction from your topic.

In my mind there are no "NON- BELIEVERS"

Everybody believes in something.

Ok. Lets say that the bible is a fairy tail.. Blessings....Miles

Well,

if I don't believe in the bible as ultimate truth (which I don't),
I still believe in something, I even believe in god, only I perceive him a lot different than you do.

ok thats fine.
Gen 1:24-28

24 Then Elohim said, "Let the earth bring forth the living creature according to its kind: cattle and creeping thing and beast of the earth, each according to its kind"; and it was so. 25 And Elohim made the beast of the earth according to its kind, cattle according to its kind, and everything that creeps on the earth according to its kind. And Elohim saw that it was good.

Whoever wrote the 1st pages of the bible had to be pretty smart and logical.. He made sure as soon as he made Huamns that he made them dominant and why.. 26 Then Elohim said,"Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth." 27 So Elohim created man in His own image; in the image of Elohim He created him; male and female He created them. 28 Then Elohim blessed them, and Elohim said to them,"Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth."
NKJV
Subdue it. and In our image. I wonder why the 1st human who learned how to write and read would decide he needed to write "lets make man in OUR image" I wonder why he said that at all. Why start it out like that at all? Why not man killed the sheep and all the animals and they were good to eat? Why did he need to make up a creator?..Blessings...Miles
