There is no such demarkation as "fully man."

Haven't we all met a few geniuses and retarded folks in our lives? Haven't we all met a few "shaved ape" strongmen and humans more classically built? Which ones are more fully human? How would anyone decide that?

Which proves my point made earlier. Darwinism has no foundation for placing value upon human life. We are just seen as more highly evolved forms from an original source that happened by chance. There is no foundation, other than human opinion, for any kind of moral judgment and that opinion could vary from place to place and we legitimately would have no foundatin for stating it is wrong. In the Darwinist world, one can NOT say with a rational basis that Bin Laden was evil. One can say I don't like what he did, but his majority rule may say it was perfectly okay.
