I don't necessarily see a correlation between my statement that I believed that mankind invented God and your question. Of course I don't think killing a cow would be a criminal act that could be compared with killing a human being. When I referred to human arrogance I was suggesting that I find it to be arrogant to accept the belief that a God created all of nature for man to dominate. By that I'm saying that I believe we should see ourselves as a part of nature and that we should live in harmony with nature as opposed to imagining ourselves to be in a separate category above nature.

Is that NATURE as the health of the Jews would have it, or is that Nature for the Natural World as the abstract totality distinct from anything we were up to this point talking about?


Are animals ever judged to be Healthy for themselves as a Veterinarian would seem them, anyway?

How; too late does this ine come down as ther nature in the replicating Computer?

DNA/RNA research show that we are related with all animals on the planet more or less.
We are more related to mammals, and less related to fish, and less related to amoeba, but still related.
So from Creationist point of view (i'm guessing) all animals just mistakes when God tried to create human. But God don't do mistakes, he does everything right from the first attempt, lol. May be lazy God created amoeba, and we all just evolved from it, so He can rest?

back pain as well as many backbone issues and flat feet issues we got because human walk vertically, but not horizontally like our predecessors primates and other mammals. Basically back pain is another prove of Evolution and disprove of Creation.

Just a random thought came to me, had to ask....

God dropped a vial of algae in a primordial pond and just waited a couple billion years to see what happened. I guess God is a mad scientist...

We are not created in God's image. Adam & Eve were created in God's holy image, but not us; that is why we must be born again.

It is our soul that is in His image, not our bodies. We must be born again to enter the Kingdom of Heaven and not because of Adam and Eve. No one on earth right now is fitted for that Kingdom. We must be born again of spirit and our soul attributes to become like God again. Adam and Eve were never like God, only image of GOd.

I hope you arent one of those people who believe because an animal isnt human, anything can be done to it.

Of course they arent human, but that doesnt make them not feel pain, fear, contentment, care for their young. Why not respect that, as they are living beings too?
