Topic: Evolution
Quote: This is not intended to be a creation evolution debate and I hope folks will refrain from that.\nI believe that there are characteristics which are solely attributable to humans. Before I post my thoughts I would like to hear others. I don\'t wish to influence any answers. \nSo what do you all think. By the Way, "nothing" is also a reasonable response, but it will be hard to prove.
Response: epaphras_faith, as I was just saying, Science has laready defined the exact nature of the difference (i.e. having to do with a specific definition of the word "conscious"). However, the damn definition would take a while to study, before anyone could hope to paraphrase it!\nWe keep redefining the difference, as the years and studies go on. It\'s just become too damn difficult for any layman to remember what the damn difference is! LOL!!! BTW....\nSomeone above mentioned fear of death. That too is not specific to humans.\nChimps and even lower ranking animals like birds have specific warning signs for specific dangers, and when you see a troop of 40 baboons scamper up a tree so fast that they leave some hair behind, you can pretty much bet that\nthey fear death from a snake, or a large predator, and didn\'t all get hungry for tree bark or leaves, at the same time. So, I think fear of death can be ruled out as being specific to humans.
