AMPLIFIED 2015 | Genesis 3:1 Now the serpent was more crafty (subtle, skilled in deceit) than any living creature of the field which the LORD God had made. And the serpent (Satan) said to the woman, "Can it really be that God has said, 'You shall not eat from any tree of the garden'?" [Rev 12:9-11] |
Subject: Animal Intelligence Isn't Rational |
Bible Note: No, Dear Sir Pent, I think we actually disagree. I do not accept your distinction of spiritual and physical rationality. There's no such thing. Animals are non-rational (physical or otherwise). Fallen man is rational, only he uses his reason to "suppress the truth in unrighteousness," which has resulted in further darkening of his understanding (Rom. 1:18, 21) Weren't the verses I presented on the non-rationality of animals sufficient? Why do you believe that animals can think? What's your Scripture? Peace, Lionstrong |
