God comes down and sits on a sofa. He then says to a German Shepherd dog , “What is your purpose in life? “ He says, “To obey my master”. God says ,”Good , sit on my left side”. He then asked a Bull dog, “What is your purpose in life? “ and he responds , “To obey my master”. God says ,”Good , sit on my right side”. He then says to a cat , “What is your purpose in life? “ The cat responds, “ Well, I think you are sitting in my space”.
You are pursuing a logical fallacy. I'm sure we can agree that we are NOT equal to other animals, either genealogically or theologically. God made that decision a long time ago when He put Adam in charge of the Garden.
Note that logic itself warns us that to share some pattern with another creature is not to be equal to him. A man is not equal to a reptile because both breathe oxygen. Rather, it shows the transcendent importance of oxygen, if we want to understand life on earth.
As to male and female, the author is pointing out that sex is so far-reaching and fundamental--unlike what the wokesters try to tell us about our children--that the patterns leap out at us even in monkeys, who are NOT us. The example is helped by the fact that monkeys can look like parodies of ourselves, and sometimes show parallel behavior patterns. But the comparison only works because we aren't monkeys!
(And thanks be to God for that.)
FRiend, Methinks you proved my point.
Peace out. We’re on the same side. ‘Pod.
Yeah, my wife takes care of a feral cat that has taken up residence on our rear deck.
It’s exactly like that.
“Did you miss the pun?”
Yeah. I guess I took it too seriously.
My kids were born close together and because of that, we had girls toys and boys toys in the toy box. The girls over all, tended to play with the girls toys and my son generally tended to play with boys toys.
WE just let THEM decide what they felt like playing with.
One of my son’s first six words was “Vroom!”
Indeed.
And (I read my FReepmail) may you finally find the Lord's healing touch for your infirmity.
Thank you.
