This morning I’m pondering the difference between humans and animals.
Used to be, we recognized animals as lower creatures under our dominion. We barely regarded them as conscious, much less as persons. There’s a reason animal feed smells bad and you wouldn’t serve it to human guests. Not that they deserve cruelty; quite the opposite. The meeker and the less capable the creature, the more love and care that creature requires.

Used to be, we recognized animals as lower creatures under our dominion. We barely regarded them as conscious, much less as persons. There’s a reason animal feed smells bad and you wouldn’t serve it to human guests. Not that they deserve cruelty; quite the opposite. The meeker and the less capable the creature, the more love and care that creature requires.
Atheists and a good chunk of scientists, however, now say we’re one and the same. That we came from a common ancestor, that we evolved from one another. But I would posit one major difference that they always write off; our creative nature. I would posit that the mentality used by the scientific community to date is the same that would lead to somebody handing a child a loaded nail gun and saying “go crazy” because you think nothing bad can happen.
No other creature possesses the human desire to craft, construct and control. Not even close. They don’t have the desire, much less the capability. If evolution were real, logic states we’d have civilizations of lesser evolved creatures all over the planet living in mud huts and stick buildings, foraging in the woods and completely biologically unable to interface with fully-evolved humans. While there are some communities that live more naturally, generally they aren’t communicated with by choice, not for lack of capability with some exceptions like cannibal tribes who would eat anybody that tried to talk to them.
Just think about it- there’s no real go between from apes to humans. There should be. They’re not missing. They’re just not there.
Look at any suburban street, any city, or any rickety barn out in a field and you can tell a human was there, because no other creature does that. We were made in God’s image, which I think means we were made to create, just on a smaller scale. I don’t believe what we’ve done would be possible if evolution was true.
I’m no expert and I’ll likely never make public advances on the topic, but… fun to think about.
