<< exaclty, humans are self-aware, and animals are not really...our thinking ability is much higher thatn other creatures >>
does this mean that skynet and the ensuing terminator armies are better?
this is actually a retarded question. there is nothing to be gained whatsoever from an answer. I have the vaguest idea what you are talking about when you say better...in what regard?
examples that it could go either way.
Are humans any better than animals at neffing? yes, your thread is a perfect example.
Are humans any better than animals at smelling items from a distance? yes and no depending on the animal.
Are humans any better than animals at transmitting their genetic information? probably not. most organisms have evolved their own appropriate mechanism for such a task or else they would have been extinct.
maybe you are an animal rights activist and feel bad about taking advantage of animals...in this regard, I guess humans are in control. We can manipulate their fates in labs/farms and stuff. but i dont think you meant this.
<< Who's to say that in a billion years, cats won't evolve into something comperable to our current state. Who's to say that we won't die out >>
this is highly unlikely. even more unlikely than the odds of you being able to tie your shoes without drooling.
<< Do animal's have souls or just humans? Personally I think that animals do have souls, but just aren't capable of properly expressing them. >>
oops, i guess you are a deep person.
<< Most of what humans do can be traced back to instincts and animalistic action. So, why do we always think that we are somehow greater? >>
though I'm not sure what you mean, I'm sure that I am clearly greater than you intellectually.
