Turtles and tortoises live longer, some cases much longer than humans.
so what?
do they make computer?
You know, it's pretty obvious to the atheists that humans made the gods. The gods we make are concerned about the same things humans are, they deal with each other much the way humans do, they're usually either humans writ large, or they live to present human ideals.
It's no big surprise that a believer finds that humans are the creatures he would make if he were god. It's no surprise that a human is certain that he's the sort of follower his god would find satisfying. I mean, the whole religion is created to prop up the human's ego, that a great and powerful skybeast wants to take care of YOU! YOU are the reason the entire universe exists, your eternal life in paradise is the reason the world operates the way it does.
It's a little self-centered and self-serving.
So here, it's not going to be a surprise that when you look at the animal kingdom and try to figure out which creature is the most special in your god's eyes, you have to conclude that your god's going to find you the mostest wonderfullest and that what you have is only explicable as part of god's favor.
Humans make computers, so obviously God made humans special.
Humans are not the most populous species on Earth, so obviously population is not important and beetles aren't special.
Humans aren't the toughest in a one-on-one fight, so tigers aren't special. Gorillas aren't special. Sharks aren't favored by God. Crocodiles can't be the most wonderful.
This is just more self-centered fantasy, Syed.
You want a winning argument, come up with an objective standard to prove who's hte most favored, then see if Mankind is anywhere near the top.
Or come up with evidence that cows would say man is more special than they are.
Or Crocodiles. Does the crocodile god find computers impressive? Or just something monkeys can do, while they can't hold their breath for any decent length of time?
I mean, really, the puddle crows about how God shaped the world to make sure there's a place for the puddle to collect. No one else seems to care.
The human crows about human differences, but reads differences as 'specialnessity.' Who cares?
