Sophistication and intelligence has nothing to do with human nature. What I argued was that human nature dictated that humans do not have some sort of inherent role to protect every little species. Preserving a species (genetically) would be another thing entirely, but once a species can no longer live in this changing earth, we can't modify the earth to accomodate them. Millions and millions of species have become extinct in the past, who was at fault there? I believe somebody as intelligent as you make yourself out to be would accept that natural selection does.Funny how your reasoning constantly switches between "humans are savage beasts who should give into their primal instincts" and "humans are sophistacted and intelligent and can control themselves".
You're the one resorting to ad hominem, infact you're also slandering me by misquoting me. Wow, that's quite contradictory don't you think? It's almost as if you're doing exactly what you're accusing me of.You like contradicting yourself to try and make somebody else look bad, don't you? Well, come back when you've cleared your stance up and can stop resorting to double-talk and ad hominem arguments.
There is no problem with people like me. I just understand the reality of it all. Millions of species have come and become extinct, it's the fate of all species, including our own.The problem with people like you is that you think that evolution has some savage underlying violence. It doesn't. It's based purely on selective pressures.
We can't eliminate natural pressures. We can't control volcanic eruptions on oceans surface, we can't control the different continents dispersing equally to balance the earth's mass. We have no control of the atmospheric pressures which exist as a result.A species like humans is advanced to the point where we can create our own pressures and eliminate natural ones.
That's just one example, and we can not eliminate those pressures.
Where does god come into this argument? If we were to use god in this argument (atleast that of abrahamic religions) we would be expected to believe it is our responsibility to preserve animal life. (Noah's Ark, etc.)That doesn't make it our God-given right to do so
What do these have to do with anything? You're so retarded.and careless moronic exploitation in that way leads to the problems this world faces with slavery, sexual abuse, murder and environmental damage.
I can't believe you accused me of being contradictory, and then you make this post. Didn't you just suggest that humans enjoyed killing one another? now you're suggesting that humans have 'genetically' become a more passive species. What evidence do you have to support this outlandish and moronic claim? Humans can create their own purpose, and I for one do not want to exist to protect the survival of every species. Because millions and millions of species have become extinct before them, we have to accept that these species as well as our own will meet the same fate.Furthermore, it means that we can choose to create our own purpose in the world - one separate from the seemingly violent "natural" urges of animals. The fact that we've evolved (and continue to) from an aggressive species to a more moderated, passive species (genetically as well as socially) supports this idea.
Slander.Your attitude to the world around you is that of the slave owners 100 years ago - that blacks are nothing but animals, less than whites, and thus it is your right to force them to work under you and kill them if they get in your way.
Lies. Whales are food, prove me wrong.It is people like you who make humanity stupid, with your arrogant trust in the idea that you're the most supreme being around and anybody who disagrees with you is less than you and anything less than you deserves to be controlled or destroyed.
