Many a Pastor, Cleric, Priest, Bishop or Pope has stated that; Humans Are Divine Creatures Made in the Image of God. You know barf me and gag me with a spoon, what a crock of crap. Look humans you need to grow up and look outside and observe the world and see for yourself that humans are no more divine than any other creature on this pale blue dot. There are no personality or behavioral characteristics to prove otherwise from the higher order mammals around us. Human brains and bodies all work similarly to the other animals on the surface of the planet. Some say we need more scientific proof to show that humans are different than animals? What? Why? We can observe the proof right before our eyes.

In fact each year more and more data comes in from observations of sea life, birds and brain waves of other mammals that they think, reason and use various parts of their brains the same way humans do. The fact that humans have a more developed brain gives them more options and ways to use it. But that is not to say that a less limited brain in another species does not use it to strategize to get what it wants. I just have too many real observation of animals to think otherwise.

At Horse Shows, horses when traveling will line up at the nicer horse trailers as their experiences tell them that it will be a less bumpy ride. My dog use to hang out at the neighbors house, when he washed his truck, because he knew the neighbor would go drive around afterwards and my dog "enjoyed” going for a ride, but he did not really like the neighbor, as the neighbor was rude to him, but would hang out only when he washed the truck, Half Lab and Half Australian Shepard did not mind getting wet from the neighbor purposefully spraying him.

I can name hundreds of examples of all sorts of animals from my running and jogging experience, both wild and domesticated of similar behaviors to humans. Science has been doing fRMI and other types of brain scans and studies, which show similarities. When looking at Jane Goodall's work all the way forward to the present day with DARPA and the Chimpanzee playing on the computer with brain waves to get free bananas?

There is just way too much proof to say that animals are so different than humans that humans warrant a different classification. And as far a humans experimenting on animals, well my cat use to experiment with its food too, carefully batting it around and then carefully dissecting mice as it ate them or birds it had caught.

And since I have 100 plus examples of real observation, I do not need to categorize, classify or quantify what is known you see? I am right. I think it might be better for those who think humans are not animals to give me proof that humans are different. So consider this in 2006.
