I personally think this debate is in dire need of happening. When I attended a Baptist school, they taught us "creation." And let me tell you, they use VERY CONVINCING TACTICS to try to get people to believe their BS. They cite people with "PhD's" and use all sorts of "scientific evidence" to make it seem like evolution is a farce. It wasn't until I read the people that completely discredited and obliterated the creationist arguments, that I realized what a load of baloney all that was.
I think that everybody who has been taught creation needs to view the evolutionist perspective in debate, so that it exposes creationists for what they truly are: fraudulent liars and scheme artists!

Skill level of humans? We're blithering apes intent on denying the fact that we're animals at all. All that clothes wearing and hair shaving and social laws and religion and what we call science with all those hydrogen bombs and striped minty toothpaste and all the other rediculous stuff humans do, ya know. Its absurd really, that we think we're special at all.

 you've gotta be fucking kidding me. What is your degree in, again? Business? Get the fuck out of here. Your statement is so blatantly outrageous that I am not even going to waste one smidgeon of my time actually debating it with you. I'm just going to make fun of you in this post for being ignorant as fuck. Normally you seem pretty intelligent but holy shit, what a load. I'm going to sleep. PEACE

Butthurt much? What are you, PMSing? I don't even know what it is you are angry about. You seem like a guy with an inferiority complex, for blowing such a small comment out of proportion and taking it to heart. "Boohoo I'm smarty pants, you stupid, boohoo!" WAAAHAHHAAHA

Well, I have to disagree with you on this one, D-money. We are special because we know how to love.

Well, I have to disagree with you on this one, D-money. We are special because we know how to love.
Animals such as chimps and gorillas and other primates, even dogs and cats know how to love. Anybody who has spent time with animals would know that they are well-capable of love.
I can show you tons of examples where animals have shown empathy. For example, the cat that adopted an orphaned puppy:

Or the loyal dog that refused to leave his dying friend behind during the Japanese tsunami:

There are also stories of dolphins that have saved surfers from sharks. Tell me that animals aren't capable of love and empathy. They are.

I agree! Cats, dogs, elephants, dolphins, and any other animal capable of love are special organisms, which are organised into a different class of being, in my opinion.

You know, I love eating exotic animals, but there are 4 animals that I find it absolutely wrong to eat. That is dogs, dolphins, primates, and elephants. Those animals are particularly intelligent and probably feel pain and suffering on a much higher level than say, a fish or a chicken. They probably suffer intensely, not just from being slaughtered themselves, but from having their family slaughtered as well.
What really pisses me off though is that stupid documentary that demonized Japanese people for killing and eat dolphins, when in reality it's only ONE tiny village in Japan that has ever eaten dolphins.

I didn't say it was unique to humans! I'm saying we can't forget that we are special because we love. If you forget that then you turn into a meanie. And no one likes a meanie.

I haven't tried eating an exotic animal befo, I think. But I agree with you in that I don't want to eat an animal that is intelligent, if I have the option not to.

Well good thing I couldn't find that clip from The Cove I was looking for, with the surfer describing a dolphin head-butting a shark which may have saved him and/or one of his buddies from being Jaws'd. 
Your description of the documentary and Japanese dolphin-consumption is off-base though. I'll leave that for another thread, possibly occurring soon.

There is only one region of Japan that consumes dolphins. Japanese people have consumed whales throughout history yes, but NOT dolphins. Did they actually mention in the Cove that it is only the Taiji village that ever consumes dolphin?

I love exotic game. Venison, rabbit, quail, snake, frogs, snails, wild boar, lion... if it's wild, I love to eat it. I might even try dog or dolphin or monkey brains ONE TIME, and ONE TIME ONLY, if it's put in front of me. But I would probably feel terrible while eating it, and I would probably never want to do it ever again.

It's called The Cove. Here's a clip from it:

No...that was kinda part of the point.
I don't really understand where this is going, and at risk of derailing this thread I'm going to abandon ship.
See you in the dolphin thread, in the future.

I am from Japan. My relatives are all from Japan. I've asked them about the dolphin slaughter in Japan after watching the cove. They all said it is only one village in Japan that eats dolphin. Nobody else does it. And nobody eats whales often anymore, because frankly whales don't taste good. I've eaten it, and it tastes like really fatty pork, except it doesn't taste as good as pork. It's just blubber.
If you care to elaborate who else in Japan eats dolphin, I'd be glad to know about it.

My host brother mentioned it when I lived with his family in Yokohama.
Unfortunately this was way before "The Cove", and I cared more about trying to find really good looking Japanese girls (there were ~7, the internet lied) than giving a fuck about cetaceans as a food source.
edit: not to mention, rewatch the documentary and the reactions of Japanese people when they're told of the Taiji stuff. They're appalled. A point made by that film is that dolphin meat is sold as meat from larger cetaceans. The consumer doesn't know. Proven when they did the genetic testing of whale meat from different market sources.

You didn't think Japanese girls are good looking? There are tons that are way, wayyyy better looking than me all around Tokyo.

Well then you'll have to post a pic to prove it 
Actually I loved the Japanese girls that I met. My host brother was like a Japanese Zach Morris (we were 16) so he brought some tail.
I guess the problem was the smiles. Haggard teeth with Japanese girls. Japan doesn't have the orthodontic considerations that the USA has.
Tokyo was awesome but I actually met one of the best looking girls I've ever met in my life while walking the beach in Yokohama.
She was a surfer, probably ~20, and completely beautiful. Nice teeth too. I still think about her...
