I don't get this either. Why are we bringing liberals into this? Is this supposed to be some sort of contradiction? Cause I'm pretty much certain animals sense things, but I don't think they sense God. Even if God exists I don't see why animals would necessarily sense him.
LOL Deny the obvious.
Isn't the current theological concensus that all this stuff about God and heaven being up in the sky is metaphorical? So why would chimps looking up into the sky mean anything?
An atheist brought liberals into it, he said that it is a liberal position to say that animals can sense God. I said "how could it be a liberal position when most liberals are anti-Christian".

Of course you don't think that animals sense God.

To an atheist it means nothing I guess. But to me if a chimp pays reverance to a sunset when one of his group has died, then that tells me that the chimp sees a connection between creation and his lost companion, and that is religion, and if a chimp is capable of sensing God, then a neanderthal was. It's a wild sideshow argument sparked by the ridiculous claim that "cavemen" were atheists, ridiculous because there's no way to know.
