1 | Animal Intelligence Isn't Rational | Gen 3:1 | Lionstrong | 19703 | ||
MORE CRAFTY: ANIMAL INTELLIGENCE The animal Satan chose to use was the most intelligent of all the animals in that class of animals, which was the beasts of the field. To say that animals are intelligent (or shrewd, as in Mat. 10:16) is not to say that they are rational, a quality only God, angels and man have. The degree of intelligence ascribed to an animal is based on the degree that its behavior mimics that of a rational being. Otherwise, the bahavior of an animal is totally instinctive, having nothing to do with rationality. Animals, in other words, do not think. Our present culture would like us to believe that men are essentially animals (or machines), and that what we call thinking is no different than the mental processes of an animal. They would have us believe that the difference in our mental process and theirs is only a matter of degrees, not a qualitative difference, only quantitative. |

Someone somewhere once asserted that the intelligence of the average StudyBibleForum user is rational. May I ask: is there any evidence that this is so? | ||||||
3 | Animal Intelligence Isn't Rational | Gen 3:1 | Sir Pent | 20898 | ||
Personal Note .................................... Dear Radioman, I know you're joking here, but some posts would definately indicate that the assertion is false :) |

4 | Animal Intelligence Isn't Rational | Gen 3:1 | callmethewolfe | 73014 | ||
have you ever read this phrase..."proclaiming to be wise, they become fools" I think the whole point here is that (a) humans are responsible for our own sin, (b) the serpent, satan will offer us temptations to sin, and he is responsible for that as well, make any sense? |
