Are human beings animals?
    #18903499 - 09/28/13 04:53 PM (10 years, 4 months ago)

Alright, so I'll stay neutral making this thread because I already have a solid position on the matter.

I'm arguing with my dear muslim friend, we are talking science and evolution and he would bet his life that humans are not animals and that we clearly different from animals and that they are here to serve us.

So in order to find an answer, I've decided to post a poll on the matter. Now, you might find the answer easy and this thread stupid, but I'm trying to prove a point against religion..
Are humans animals?
You may choose only one

We're animals. We're the greatest, most intellectually advanced animals on this planet, on this solar system, in a multi-million light-year radius even. But without our intellect, we'd be nothing.

You can't/shouldn't expect to sway someone about religion, ever, IMO, but I love a good debate.

Well, it's obvious what your position is based on your post lol.
And plus, of course you're going to get more responses being that humans are animals when you ask a drug forum.
Just sayin'.

'Animal' is just our classification of a certain type of existence, and by our own definition we fall into that category. Animal is not an universal category, and it contains such amazingly varied array of creatures, we definitely share most of our characteristics with them.

That's the thing, evidence probably won't be found.
It's just a matter of belief.

The only evidence I can think of is the fact that humans are so much farther "evolved" than any other animal, thus we might be more than an animal.  :shrug:

tell your friend about DNA, and tell him that we're all animals, with an innate Anima or "primal sense", and that we all derive our existence from the same energy that makes up all of the universe. then tell him about God. tell him, you might as well learn in order of relevance, if you're gonna question even the basics.

 (class Mammalia /məˈmeɪli.ə/) are a clade of endothermic amniotes. Among the features that distinguish them from the other amniotes, the reptiles and the birds, are hair, threemiddle ear bones, mammary glands in females, and a neocortex (a region of the brain). The mammalian brain regulates body temperature and the circulatory system, including the four-chambered heart. The mammals include the largest animals on the planet, the rorqual whales, as well as some of the most intelligent, such as elephants, some primates and some cetaceans. The basic body type is a four-legged land-borne animal, but some mammals are adapted for life at sea, in the air, in the trees, or on two legs. The largest group of mammals, the placentals, have aplacenta which feeds the offspring during pregnancy. Mammals range in size from the 30–40 mm (1.2–1.6 in) bumblebee bat to the 33-meter (108 ft) blue whale.

if his thoughts can't change, well... i think we all know what's gonna happen. he won't change, either.

The definition of an animal is a eukaryotic, multicellular organism in the kingdom Animalia or Metazoa. There is no ambiguity whatsoever about whether or not humans fit this definition. They do.

We are animals. This is grade school biology.

But if he is arguing from a religious standpoint, and not a scientific standpoint, then you wont change his mind.

People who use religion to base their beliefs are hard to persuade, despite all the evidence you can show them.

tell him this, Patlal, that humans are on a higher vibrational plane, then other animals, and that we are spiritually more attuned to the higher power. thusly we have been able to evolve beyond the carnal state of other animals.

because we're closer to God. we have the intellect and the emotional discretion to attain a higher frequency, basically, by being Human. by being Humans we can understand the infinite and thusly can understand the significance of the unknown and how to interpret that spaceless. thoughts and mind. so and so forth.

some people can. not everybody. Jesus, for example... and Buddah. they could, potentially, according to what they innately brought to the table. they dedicated their lives to understanding the infinite, and i believe they did. with awareness of the infinite you can understand it, it's just limitless, so to define it is impossible. you can only read it... like a book.

i'm telling a person what to tell a religious nut. dude.

personally, considering this is just conjecture and is irrelevant to anything... i find that Animals have an even higher connection to a "higher power", then Humans. Humans just simply get better treatment, because we are smarter. no duh, right? plus, we can form a lexicon for language and survive on top of the food chain... this means that Animals MAY have exactly the same level of interconnectivity or maybe even more! though, nobody can have proof for that, because hello, they can't talk to us.

that and all the talk about spirituality. it's easy to compare spirituality to nature, though it's definitely a dichotomy. nature is that which is independent. the spiritual is that which is dependent, on nature, first and foremost.

We're animals. We're the greatest, most intellectually advanced animals on this planet, on this solar system, in a multi-million light-year radius even.



Intellect is just an operating system and about the only one we have direct experience with in terms of consciousness on this planet. This is like saying I am the greatest most advanced person in my neighborhood because I run Windows 7 on my computer, even though I am not sure what other people run or what the experience of it is or how any of it really works.

Look at the things we can observe some sea life doing, like dolphins and all the wacky, playful, ingenious shit they do. Have you ever seen footage of a morphing octopus? Just because their intelligence isn't seated in their frontal lobe and is expressed in different ways doesn't mean it's somehow less spectacular or inferior to our human machinations. Insects, birds, various sea life, many other species are brilliant instrumentalists in their medium so they could be said to use art in essentially the same ways we do. Look at how spiders and bees and other insects have an innate mastery of geometry and construction. And they're not helpless for years before they can get to it.

Quote:

But without our intellect, we'd be nothing.



An operating system is nothing without an interface. Without our manual dexterity our intellect would be nothing.

All creatures operate in a different spectrum, and we have no idea what consciousness is aside from our own tiny sliver of it, so I'd say it's profoundly stupid to profess that the things we do are somehow more advanced or "greater" than other forms of life. That said, we do operate in the human sphere so for us, what humans do is the most important out of all species(even though bacteria in our gut keeps up functioning, etc) and we do find ourselves in a position of being forced to conquer or exploit other forms of life to some extent to survive.

We should humbly accept our ignorance about how other forms of intelligence operate(while always striving to better understand it) and do our best to spend our time with as much ingenuity as possible doing things that will benefit all forms of life. And even though all consciousness seems to be linked I think we are frankly too stupid at this point to use any understanding of that to anyone's advantage, so just aim to contribute something to your fellow man(either by mundane, everyday or more creative means) if nothing else.

Obviously we are animals biologically, the evidence of this is overwhelming. Some people do use the word "animal" to refer exclusively to animals other than humans. That's just a convention of language though, it has nothing to do with biological distinctions.

these confusions about definition are ultimately hilarious, though. i say we all keep being ignorant to the fact that our biological imperatives are the same as all other live forms, or in some cases, completely dependent on them.

If we're not animals then what are we?

I get where he's coming from, but even from a religious perspective, aren't we animals that are spiritually superior to other animals (or however he wants to put it), but ultimately still animals? I don't know what else we could possibly be called.

Maybe he didn't think it through and articulate his thoughts on the matter properly before he started debating it. Maybe the reason you stated all the scientific facts for him but he still wouldn't admit he's wrong is because he's too embarrassed or stubborn to. :shrug:

Or maybe he's truly that retarded. If he genuinely believes we're not of the animal kingdom, what would he call us, instead?

I get where he's coming from, but even from a religious perspective, aren't we animals that are spiritually superior to other animals (or however he wants to put it), but ultimately still animals? I don't know what else we could possibly be called.

Maybe he didn't think it through and articulate his thoughts on the matter properly before he started debating it. Maybe the reason you stated all the scientific facts for him but he still wouldn't admit he's wrong is because he's too embarrassed or stubborn to. :shrug:

Or maybe he's truly that retarded. If he genuinely believes we're not of the animal kingdom, what would he call us, instead?



nothing. he's an idiot. :lol:

Since 'Animals' is a category invented by humans - while we meet the critera for them, we could also invent our own and be whatever the fuck we like. But yeah - we fit under the category of animals right now obviously :rofl:

I am a spirit trapped in a animal body that constantly has 1 foot in the 'sludge' and 1 foot in the hyperspacial web of cosmic interconnectedness.

But to answer the quest_ion bluntly, I have an animal body, yes, but I am not cursed like the other animals. The other animals only know pain and rejection. The human knows love.


--------------------
Something there is mysteriously formed,
Existing before Heaven and Earth,
Silent, still, standing alone, unchanging,
All-pervading, unfailing,
I do not know its name; I call it tao.
If forced to give it a name, I call it
Great (ta). Being great, it flows out;
Flowing out means far-reaching;
Being far-reaching, it is said to return.


It's just a shot away..

We are able to express more individual ideas because society is like this.  If we all had to rely on our own abilities to find food and shelter and other bear necessities we would not have many of the advancements we have today.  New world order wants mindless drones.

right, exactly. just like animals to the Earth, we are the workers of the Gods. we get told we are the all prevailing human spirit so that we submit to the goal of "human nature".

really, it's just cells that work for the greater good, and they're easily convinced that they only have one source of origin, because they only have one source of energy.

Alright, so I'll stay neutral making this thread because I already have a solid position on the matter.

I'm arguing with my dear muslim friend, we are talking science and evolution and he would bet his life that humans are not animals and that we clearly different from animals and that they are here to serve us.

So in order to find an answer, I've decided to post a poll on the matter. Now, you might find the answer easy and this thread stupid, but I'm trying to prove a point against religion..




Voted STAL. Because this question warrants a toke and a reply.

Whether human beings are an animal is based on your relative position.

Human beings are animals but are not "just another animal." Of course relative to the universe a human being is really not that different to any other animal, having evolved to favor abstract reasoning as it's primrary survival skill.

From the perspective of a human being however I agree with your friend. Humans matter. Humans are important. Humans are special. Humans are more than animals. From the perspective of a human being I see other animals as nothing more than a component of the universe, no more important than sticks and stones.

And while in the great scheme of things human beings are really no different or more important than anything else. We at least have the ability to look out for one another, love each other and make our existence sacred, rather than just living for no other purpose than to reproduce. We give ourselves meaning.

tl;dr Humans are animals, but are also something much more.

I think what this subject boils down to is the presence of consciousness in a being.Typically most all animals don't have a conscious,emotions or any of the basic things we distinguish as a purely human traits in society.Most animals only think for survival ONLY,they have no other motives or emotions other then to propagate and eat and drink.

That being said i do believe that animals were put on this planet for human survival and resources,i don't think animals have souls & identities like humans do. I sure don't think animals were put here not to be used for resources because #1 if we didn't hunt them they would overpopulate any given area and we would have to fight for territory.Secondly if you ask yourself the question why are animals in our world?The only logical explanation i can come up with is that they are here for human needs,food,clothes,oil ect.

You clearly have very little experience with animals :rofl: Many animals display a high level of emotion.

So - whats your take on the 99% of animals that ever existed - that existed before human civilization? Did they exist and evolve just to be used as resources by us in the form of oil? :lol:

I had this thought the other day to :shrug: I mean obviously  our species had to go through the primitive stage in order to get where we are now and given the chance/alternate universe another species could have been sitting where we are now:shrug:

but if you look at the big picture "animal" is a human word therefor animals are in fact only animals to humans and not other animals.

also what if the way we perceive social standards and the food chain in general(us being the most powerfull) is just the way are brains fool us to think that we are top dogs. when in fact we are rats in a cage given a little freedom, and another species perceives their position on the totem poll as the most powerfull?

food for thought man
