This is hard for me to comprehend...but there are so many reports of this phenomenon it's hard to ignore.

But, we are part of the animal kingdom...why do we not have this 'sixth sense?'

[seppel]

According to evolutionists we are part of the animal kingdom. According to the description of creation in the bible we are a being apart. That is why we do not have animal senses.

Proof positive...GOD MADE US DIFFERENT.

I'll take the ability to think independently and create wonders over a "sixth sense" any day.

Pity most liberals who seem to have no sense at all.

"I definitely think that my dogs sensed the tsunami," the priest said.

How about the earthquake that caused the tsunami. The animals felt the earth shake, they did not have precognition of a tidal wave.

Its not a sixth sense, its better senses.

Dogs can hear multiple times as well as we can. Some animals have heightened awareness of vibrations and low or high frequency sounds, too. That is why many dogs howl at sirens. It hurts their ears.

Actually if you lived out in the country and had a farm with horses you could probably tell after a while. Adaption I suppose.

[shubi]

Oh Pulleeeze. Do you have a heart, a liver and a digestive tract? What makes you think we are that different?

[shubi]

Yep, we are retards compared to animals. </sarcasm off>

Since cattle and other animals normally do not stroll the beaches, no surprise there were no dead animals found. Sheeesh - these libs are trult stupid and lack any intellect or common logic.

[LiveFreeOrDie2001]

Oh I believe we have more senses than we think, it's just that we've DULLED & SUPRESSED THEM over the years to fit our current lifestyle !!!!!!!

We no longer rely on Fishing, Hunting, Gathering, etc. for our personal survival.

We just hop in the car & run to the grocery store and acquire a bounty of oue CHOOSING !!!!

Think about it.

We probably do have it (a sixth sense), but we probably have learned to not listen to it. We have reasoning and intellectualizing, and other things that conflict us when "RUN" is all that we should be thinking. Animals were all able to swim and run, (good thing they were not fenced or tied). Animals also did not stop to think "whats going one here" they used every available moment to run the other way. They also were not conflicted over whether to try and save someone else or grab some precious belongings. All this helped the animals while some people were walking on the extended beach wondering what it meant.

I'm not an Animal, I'm a human being!!!

[Fishing-guy]

That's a good point. Do earthquakes and oncoming tidal waves make noises that can only be picked up by some animals?

However, did the animals run for higher ground? Maybe, they were just better swimmers.

[LiveFreeOrDie2001]

KC - I see we think similarly.

I do Fish ALOT by the way - I caught 10 Crappies 2 days ago that are 14-15" long (big ones!).

I've heard about this...it'd be nice if we humans could too...

I'm with you, opposable thumbs are great, too :-)

[Best Austin Powers voice] Oh you animal, you...

[cyborg]

Maybe it's different for water animals. Kenya had more hippos than humans die apparently.
