What is the qualitative difference in human/chimp thinking? We're both self-aware.
you're right, Chimps are definitely thinking of how to improve their lot.....
I am laughing too hard to type, sorry....
How about a few quantitative differences:
HUMANS: MILLIONS OF INVENTIONS FROM THE WHEEL TO STEAMBOATS TO AUTOS TO ROCKETS TO SILICON
CHIMPS: NOTHING
HUMANS: WRITTEN LANGUAGE, ART, SCIENCE, MATH
CHIMPS: NOTHING
HUMANS: VERIFIABLE AWARENESS OF WHO THEY ARE; ASK ANY HUMAN WHO THEY ARE AND THEY CAN TELL YOU
CHIMP: CAN'T
Clearly, DNA is important, but it's not everything. What humans actually know about the details of the creation of life is, qualitatively, equivalent to one pebble of sand on a Destin beach.
