Discussion Are humans animals ?

yes, why would we not be. We have gentic code, primal insticts, and all the other basic stuff animals have. The only difference between humans and other animals is intelligence, but still this wouldnt ungroup us from the rest of the animal kingdom

I'm going to reject this belief because it hurts my feelings and makes people less morally accountable.

No. Because we are a distinct group, during the Great Feud we failed to make a stand on God's absolute authority.

You have to prove things, in science, not just put a theory out there and let everyone else go to prove it.

Yes, because our existence is backed with billions of years of evolution, and all of our predecessors were animals.

Maybe we have achieved a shit ton through our intellect, but just spend even a little amount of time interacting with people and you'll notice your and theirs animal instincts kicking in.

Feels bad to be left out of a friend group? In primordial times we needed a pack or tribe for survival.

Why do we like people who are attractive? Good looks meant better genetic health in primordial times, signifying healthy progeny.

Why do people believing the same ideologies form into a group? Tribal instincts.

So forth.

The only domain the aforementioned might not be true is when applying logic, for example maths and science.

Our basal instincts are overall the same, and will remain the same after human civilization dissipates from Earth.

Are Homo Sapiens females largely attracted to their male counterparts' personality?

Theory is not just conjecture, for something to become a scientific theory, it has to essentially have abundant and near-irrefutable evidence to support it. The only reason why it's not called a 'scientific fact' is because in science, you're encouraged to question everything and not assume you're right all the time, it'd be beneficial if religious people had the same perspective...
