There is no difference between animals and humans. We are merely very intelligent animals.

I respectfully disagree. Humans are the ones building civilizations for a reason. Don't go through the biology of animals and humans because I am not speaking in that regard. We are on a higher plane. That's why we can create so many wonderful things and do so many wonderful things. Don't think I'm against LGBT peoples or marriage of LGBT peoples. I am very much for them, I am simply saying that humans are not comparable to animals.

Yes, but we aren't primal anymore. In the right (or wrong) situations we will become animals, or use our primal instincts, but we are more than that now. We have sailed the seas, travelled deserts, crossed frozen wastes, hunted the biggest of creatures, conquered the sky and have been to space. We are not merely animals anymore.

Okay? That's not the point I was getting at. Humans are weak. We don't have a fast pace like other animals, we don't have claws like other animals, we don't have wings like other animals, and we can't defend ourselves like other animals. We are set apart by the fact that we are intelligent. We used horses and later cars for our fast pace. We used metal to make our claws, that are swords. We made aeroplanes and helicopters as our wings. We use guns and society to protect ourselves. We are more intelligent than other animals. We made ourselves better than them.
-
Have any animals come even close to any of the achievements we have accomplished? No. They haven't. We are special because we have accomplished things other animals haven't even come near to accomplishing. We aren't gods, but to those animals we basically are.

I never said we will be the only ones ever to accomplish things. I did hear a "first" and a "hyper intelligent" out of you though. Doesn't that make us special? Should something else intelligent begin to rise right now, we have quite a few years on them. It's a massive advantage and I would argue hyper intelligence in itself is quite special.
