Chimps , Parrots and Dolphins are very smart animals

Chimps = Intelligence of 4-5 year old child
Dolphins = about the same as chimp
Parrots = Intelligence of a 6-7 year old child

Does that Mean they should act like they are a child of that age? NO! they lack the thought process Homo Sapiens have Just like Adam and Eve didn't have knowledge of Good and Evil.

I have known Smart People that had no Common sense at all

Is this part of your argument?

Why not?

The intelligence of animals has little to do with anything that I stated

It doesn't? Tell me do you view Humans as better then other creatures on this Planet? Why are Humans above the rest of Nature?

Anyway what I was saying is that Intelegennce has very little or nothing to do with what they are saying.

The Bible CLEARLY says they lacked that ability Unless you have a new Bible I have never seen....

I was using animals to say even though they are as smart a humans they lack our thinking process. So intelegence has nothing to do with this.

Re: Loaded Trees of Knowledge

If we are going to speculate on the status quo at the time of this event, assuming for the sake of argument that the event was real, we also need to know what type of creatures the pre fall Adam and Eve were. They were certainly more than kids.

yes they are full grown adults who cannot tell the difference between Good and Evil Which is worse then a child because Adam and Eve lacked the ability to learn without the tree

Where in the Bible does it say Adam and Eve lacked a certain "thinking process"?

Are you able to make a decsion between right and wrong? Yes? well the Bible says CLEARLY they were unable to do this..... Crash already pointed the spots to you...

Humans are obviously above the rest of the Earth.

How do you come to this Idea? Its not that obvious to me... Alittle Abstract thought hardly makes us great and above everything else....
A cheetah can run 60 mph... a bird can fly... so what?
