    It is evidence that for the past millions of years up to present on in near future not a single none human creatures have evolved to have human intelligence and by human intelligence meaning questioning whether God exist or not, inventing gun powder, air planes, telephone, mathematics, geometry, space travel etc. Such claim that none human animals have human intelligence or intelligence equal to humans is base on very strong imagination such imaginations that created the mythological gods, goddesses and their realms.

    Many have said that none human animals have human intelligence base on my very simple question. Do you believe that none human animals possess or have evolved to have human intelligence and by human intelligence meaning the ability to fly airplanes, question whether God exist or not, invent automobiles, create WMD etc.? Yes or no?
    Most of the atheist answer is.....evolution will allow animals to evolved to acquire human intelligence because its all about the brain..... something in that effect, no atheist dare to answer the simple Yes or No they all dance around it.

    Are you saying they were lying when they answered that none human animals through evolution can acquire human intelligence denying that for the past million or billion of years no single none human creature has evolved to have human intelligence?

    Can't you read? The answer is in my post, and in what others have posted. I suggest you get English language lessons. And it is non-human

    DUH, If one or two or even a thousand atheists state something it does NOT mean that all atheists believe that thing and it is asinine, illogical and just plain stupid to think that all atheists think alike.


    This concept may be too difficult for some but atheists simply don't believe in a god or gods....that's it, that's all...and to say they all believe in something else is the sin of thinking you're god and really really dishonest, too, so that any future words of people who say that can't be trusted....

    The English question is very simple even none English speakers can understand it and the answer of most will be No to Do you believe that non-human animals possess or have evolved to have human intelligence and by human intelligence meaning the ability to fly airplanes, question whether God exist or not, invent automobiles, create WMD etc.? Yes or no?

    So your answer is Yes or no?

    By way the way thank you for the spell check.

    Atheist do not believe in God is a given I have no problem with that and I accept their claim that they don't believe in God.
    I always thought that atheist are for science,they claim the reason they do not believe in God because it is unproven it is not real no scientific evidence of God and yet with the absence of scientific evidence for more than million of years to now and to the near future no evidence exist that non-human animals have ever evolved to acquire human intelligence or become human like not even human's closes animal cousins the gorillas, the chimps, monkeys, baboons or orangutan none of them have even come close to becoming human or evolved to have human intelligence and yet many atheist believe that non-human animals can evolved into humans or have equal intelligence with humans.

    The answer is "No" since you put Human in front of intelligence. Although most Humans could not fly an airplane or invent automobiles, or create WMD etc. This does not mean that other non Human animals do not possess "intelligence."

    Nobody here has claimed there are other animal species that have intelligence equivalent to our own species.

    #574 and 575 did not answer yes or no rather it dance around the question; Do you believe that non-human animals possess or have evolved to have human intelligence and by human intelligence meaning the ability to fly airplanes, question whether God exist or not, invent automobiles, create WMD etc.? Yes or no?
    another question; why is it so difficult to answer the question with a simple yes or no but not difficult to answer No there is no God?

    You have answer clearly no non-human animals have evolved or acquired human intelligence.
    While others are still dancing around the simple question you have not and I thank you for that.

    There is no doubt that all non-human creatures possess certain intelligence according to their own kind and none of them possess human intelligence.

    Nobody has danced around the question. You have had your answer - if you could only understand. I've said 'No-one says that non-human animals possess human intelligence'. That's clear enough

    OK, but from there we need to note that intelligence is not an objective.

    So, one would expect there to be a range of intellectual capability across the animals (including humans).

    And, that is what we find.

    Also, evolution would cause us to expect to see a range of increasing development in brain morphology that correlates. We see that, as we can trace the functional components of a human brain far back through the evolutionary tree. We see components of our brain that match with early animals while we see development of new components and greater complexity over time - leaving the modern human brain to match quite closely to that of our most recent ancestors.

    So far, this exploration has not found a refutation of evolution as the "how" of humans becoming what they are.

    And, so far no competing scientific theory has been discovered, leaving evolution as the lone scientific answer for "how".
