shadowrun User ID: 28145330 United States 11/21/2012 02:28 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | ... Quoting: shadowrun There is a missing link somewhere...Why are we aware of our on consciousness and no other animals or life forms on the planet are aware? what makes us so different...and why are we the only living specimens on the earth that know and are capable of good and evil? what sets ups apart from the rest of the evolutionary chain? WE seem somewhat out of place on earth, almost like we were planted here. I think many animals are aware, but on a different level, you could compare it to the level of a small child, at the point of just being aware of itself. but why are we humans different, if all we need to survive as an animal species is the animal level of consciousness. Then why do animals not commit suicide? no animals can even speak or write a sentence.They cant do anything complex at all. The missing link is the soul. Souls generally don't inhabit animals, at least not souls of the same quality as those that inhabit human beings. Animals operate on instinct. Our intelligence sets us apart from them. The human form was genetically engineered. It still is. I agree we are genetically engineered, and the bible talks about DNA engineering when it talks about god forming eve out of adams rib and that's in genesis.Yes i suppose if animals had souls maybe they would run around possibly doing either good or bad deeds.Its obvious that they operate just on instinct and nature.Can they feel sadness and or love...i think maybe yes.But are they capable of true good or true evil.I dont believe so.

I understand but however, while i may have existed prior to 1986...my consciousness did not, and if it did exist, then i am not aware of it.You could even say iv been around for millions of years if you include the particle or dust or matter that my physical form is made up of.From material that exploded from a super hyper nova some 48,000,000 years ago.Even from the material that formed the star that exploded into this hypernova, could date back forever or to the supposed big bang theory.I do not agree with that my nature is purposelessness,I probably would agree with that if it didn't declare in the bible that my existence serves one purpose and that is simply for the pleasure of the that which created me.We are all limited to the predetermined confines of the human body and our size compared to the known universe.The reason i say predetermined is because not only did i not choose to be here (that i'm aware of) but i also did not have any choice as to what exactly i am or look like or my size opposed to the massive universe around us.I did not choose for my eyes and hair to be brown.Its almost as if my consciousness was placed in a predetermined human host body.You may be right perhaps non existence does not exist but i wouldn't know because i exist! but i also know that my consciousness did not always exist therfor to me before 1986,my consciousness might aswell had been non existent.Nothingness would seem non existent but nothing can not be perceived so even if there was nothingness, no one would know it.
