[QUOTE="BumFluff122"]Differences between Phylum, Species, etc.. are based on real life factual data and words with definite definitions. If he believes that humans are not animals he must explain why. He must define the definitions that do not make them animals. It des not matter if it's "his" thread. This is a public forum. He asked a question. People have made statements. He's made statements in reference to those statements and these questions are being asked of him because he is not clear on his statements. If you are going to define something you must be clear on your definitions.BumFluff122
You keep missing my point, for some reason.
Yes, "Differences between Phylum, Species, etc.. are based on real life factual data and words with definite definitions", i absolutely agree, but notice how he is assigning traits, values, definitions w/e to it, that you cannot refute unless he allows you to do so. He can be as clear on his definitions as he wants to, but as long as he does not "mess" with their original definition, and instead resort to attributing exterior attributes to these otherwise solid factual definitions -- and BASE his entire argumentation and point on these exterior attributes (and he keeps them broad, open for multiple definitions), you cannot possible refute the totalitarity of which his statement are based on. I guess you enjoy religion threads too, then. (only motif i can think of, since thats running a head up against a wall, too)
Of this i was unaware, so i won´t spoil your fun. Godspeed, Fluffy. (:
I am asking him what definitions he is giving to those traits and if those traits he is trying to define humans to have actually exist. IF he wants to have a discussion concernign the differences and similarities about humans and animals you better believe he's going to need to define what it is he is defining. If he does not want to decribe it there is no point to this entire thread because that is exactly what this thread has turned into. I have not tried to refute what it is his definition of a soul is, as that is possibly the only thing that seperates us from animals as he thinks. I question him what his definition of a soul is. IF he wants to publicize his thoughts in a scientific ournal by all means go ahead but he better have more proof behind his definitions than it is what eh thinks or he is attributing the differences to somethign that may or may not exist. Have a nice day :) I don't think we can ever say what the soul is, but I do believe we all have an awareness of it. If we were nothing but a bunch of cells arranged to make an organism called human, how can we say it's wrong for one bunch of cells to own another, just like we do with the organisms we call dogs and cats? Deep inside, we know there's more to us than that.
