What distinguishes humans from other living beings?

In my opinion, it is religion which distinguishes humans from other living beings.

- YES, ABSOLUTELY YES, only humans are ignorant enough to make up religions.

The only thing that really separates us is technology. Other animals use tools in a limited fashion, but we took toolmaking a lot further than using a stick to get delicious termites to come out where we can eat them. We continue to refine our tools much faster and that has put us far ahead of all other animals in terms of survival.

The Daily Mail? The Independent? Could you possibly find a less authoritative source? How about the Onion?

Why not just say, "People who know nothing about evolutionary biology all agree that this is what evolutionary biologists believe, even though evolutionary biologists deny it."

Why even bother talking about what evolutionary biologists believe if you are just going to quote crap that people make up?

Lions don't take guns, shoot humans, and put the human head in a trophy cabinet for starters.

Elephants do not shoot humans, take their teeth and make models out of them either.

Tests have repeatedly shown chimpanzee apes have much better short-term memories than human apes.

What distinguishes humans from other living beings?

1 Corinthians 11:25 Matthew 26:28 John 6:56

Baptism removes original sin (Adam and Eve eating the forbidden fruit) and other sins.

Confession and drinking blood of Jesus remove sins.

Barcode is ancient Druid black magic curse.

Barcode = mark of the beast = scratches left by the nails of the antichrist.

666 is not forgivable; it's leads to permanent hell.

666 is given with World Passport with no name on it (grey plastic card).

Also, Police 666 people on highways.

Food stores 666 people who steal.

Prisoners (released by homosexual flying big-nailed gloved pale-faced red-eyed satan-possessed antichrist)

also 666 people. Antichrist will rule over the whole world except Orthodox Russia.

There will be a Tsar in Russia to not allow this antichrist to rule in Russia.

So, go hide with Orthodox Christians in Russia before it's too late.

Birds die because time is about to run out on us.

People don't respect nature.

Modern technology kills birds.

Scientists don't see the dinosaurs because of radiation.

Vyatcheslav Krasheninnikov said that first dinosaur will come out of Volga River.

Birds participate in time creation.

It's a sin to kill birds.

Dinosaurs live under our level.

They will get out through sinkholes and lakes.

To kill them, go for their nerves.

So, save the birds, but kill the dinosaurs.

Feed the pigeons.

Stay away 500 km from Moscow and no further than Ural mountains

because Chinese will take over Siberia.

Stay away from big cities, hot climates, and big bodies of water.

Antichrist's next target is the Statue of Liberty.

One big shake, one giant step forward, one giant collapse.

You use your spirit to talk to God.

Demons attack soul and body.

Demons live inside clones. Jesus died for all sins committed by all.

Jesus said that you have to drink His blood.

All people have soul, body, and spirit.

In animals, blood substitutes soul.

That's why you're forbidden to drink animal blood.

Animals don't have spirit.

You're forbidden to drink human blood (like during blood transfusion) because sins transfer.

You're told to drink blood of Jesus (because He's sinless) so that your sins are forgiven.

Dogs are not allowed in your home and your church because the Holy Spirit will leave.

One can receive mark of the beast because of cats; so, stay away from cats.

Give to charity in the name of Archangel Michael; he rescues people from hell twice a year (or brings them up a level, that is, to a level with less punishment; eventually, people are freed). Feed the pigeons; when pigeons bow down, people are saved from hell. Forgive me.

It is sort of strange but seriously the answer to that question is found in the story of Adam and Eve. Man became fully human when he developed a conscience (in the A & E story, when they ate from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil). This rings true whether one believes in an evolutionary development or an instantaneous creation. Of all the animals only man makes virtually ALL of his decisions based on what could only be called the "moral" choice between good/evil, right/wrong. This is reflected even in crossing a street... should I cross now or is it better to wait until these cars pass? Unlike other animals we are no longer ruled by our instincts and can choose to ignore them at any time.

the ability to waste hours on line looking at lol cats

Our Souls.

Humans have souls.
