according to biologists, there are only a few things that separate "homo sapiens" from the rest of the animal kingdom; humans are bipedal (we walk on 2 feet), and we have a more complex cerebrum and fully opposable thumbs. that's what we learned in biology anyway.
christians (for the most part), on the other hand, believe that humans were created in god's image, therefore are the only animals that have souls.
i'm not sure my beliefs fall on either end of that spectrum.
i'm not really even sure what my beliefs are.
i used to be a hardcore, stereotypical christian when it came to the concept of humanity. but now that i've learned more about it, i'm not really sure what i think about it. its something that i think about a lot, but it's such a vast topic, it's hard for me to even comprehend what i'm thinking about sometimes.
metacognition makes me dizzy.
