Ann, Animals live on instincts and not by conscious existence. Oh John, I see your experience with animals is severely limited. Trust me, you are very, very wrong about this. While there is plenty of extinct (I think of it as innate intelligence and reflex they are born with) there is so much more than that. I don't believe that scientists are finding animals to be evolving into intelligent creatures like human beings. So what and who do you think the Neanderthals were? No relation? Do you not believe you and I are "animals"? But there are animals, like the primates, which are very similar to the humans, particularly in DNA makeup. If humans ever disappear on earth through wars or natural catastrophe, it's possible that the primates could eventually evolve like the intelligent apes on the movie, Planet of the Apes. Also, humans could eventually develop into cyborgs. But, IMO, that would be a devolution from the unique status of humans, in that we can merge with the Self or the Divine Intelligence through meditation or enlightenment. Ok, you've pretty much lost me here. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <olliesedwuz@...> wrote : Humans will always be higher order than animals, due to greater intelligence and adaptability. I do think it is fascinating that using such gifts we can emulate a state of awareness much lower than the animals too. It is that flexibility unique to our species that makes us top of the pile. The challenge appears to be to gain the acceptance of life and naturalness that animals have, while honoring our own birthright. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <awoelflebater@...> wrote : ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <jr_esq@...> wrote : These ISIS jihadists are the current manifestations of the asuras or devils in Nature. They are lower than human beings, but are considered above animals in the Vedic hierarchy of creatures on earth. Bullshit, I'll take an animal any day. Animals are, much of the time, "above" human beings let alone these ISIS monsters. So, what makes a human so special? The fact that they, supposedly, can come to "know" God? Animals are born knowing God. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <mdixon.6569@...> wrote : The methods they use to kill those that refuse to follow them are horrendous.They make the NAZIS seem like Boy scouts.

Also, if the Iraqi forces ever catch Al Baghdadi, the high priest of ISIS, alive, they should charge him with crimes against humanity and hang him high just like Saddam Hussein. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <mdixon.6569@...> wrote : Can I get a great big *Aloha Snickbar* for that?
