I don’t think I’ve forgotten my brain
Oh wait, there it be
No actually Cynthia I think we would both agree on the mechanistic biological nature of thought and feelings
The only thing I would take exception to is that the brain does NOT separate us from other animals
We are just animals with slightly larger brains
We share the ability to form long chains of neural connections which we call thoughts and feelings with ALL the animals with a central nervous system
The common house mouse, for example, shows the same care and nurturing behavior towards their young that we in the human species frequently call “love “
I only wish that they would stop teasing the hell out of my dog
we will have to disagree . As I stated the “human brain”is what separates us from other organisms . When was the last time a mouse won a Pulitzer Prize for gene editing ? Why are mice not the dominant lifeform ? As for nurturing young .. many animals especially mammals nurture and care for their young .. it is a biological trait (and in many cases a chemically driven trait ) favoured by evolution , as is the formation of social groups and pair bonding . Biology 101.

As for referring to me as Cynthia . Whatever your reasons . . It was received as culturally insensitive sarcasm . It is definitely not my name :wink:

So because a mouse never won a Pulitzer Prize they don’t have thoughts or feelings?
That’s ridiculous
And I already explained why I accidentally called you Cynthia

I don’t think I have mentioned thoughts and feelings once .. I am referring to intelligence :angel:
If you are able to decipher the thoughts and feelings of mice ., perhaps I can nominate you for a prize :wink:
Anthropomorphism can have some benefits but can also be detrimental .the mice told me that rofl rofl

I’m terribly sorry blondey I was under the impression that I was in discussions with someone who understood science.
Please go back to your little sheltered fantasy world in which the human mind animals are the sole possessors of intelligence. Cheers

My fantasy world in no way involves animals LMSAO … not sure you can say the same offtopic

I'd say that life is a complex biochemical reaction mediated by DNA

Life is what you make it. Is not a cow life, a chicken, a plant, the earth we live on, the sky, the air we breath?

Native Americans thought everything was alive in some way and should be respected. White men think everything is dead and should be used.

The second coming of Christ is very close now.


The JWs have claimed this many times. When nothing happens they admit they made a mistake in their calculations. Perhaps their mistake is in thinking that that they know more than the rest of us?

Life is an experience... it begins before conception, as a conscious energy, it moves into reality at conception and then experiences life through various events in order to feel sensations...
These are the opinions of not only myself, but is becoming scientific.
