Humans live a long time, and we cannot control their breeding. We can and have with dogs, and have bred dogs to behave in certain ways

Humans can be studied through identical twins. Please cite studies that conclude that humans have inbred or innate behaviors. the few humans examples of humans who grew up in the wild without human contact were animals in every sense.

Walking is not learned. It's a maturational development. At some point in his development a human will begin to walk. No play pen needed.

female mammals have estrus. Female humans do no have estrus. There are numerous other examples that humans are "humans" based on how they are raised.

Our bodies affect our minds, and our minds use multiple ways to solve problems

It is through the understanding of the cause and effect (logic) that humans learned how to control their impulses and superstitions, wlel at eats some of them anyway.

I gave you examples of dogs. Do you deny those? If not, why do you believe or think humans are different, when we obviously cannot do breeding experiments with humans?

Walking is, of course, a learned behavior. However, you cannot walk by the power of your conscious mind. There are too many decisions coming too fast - so your brain short circuits the conscious. It is thought, but not logical, analytical thought that makes walking possible.

A leap of faith is intuition, which also involves thought - just thought involving signals and analysis you are not aware of. You can glory in logic if you wish, but you ignore much of your brain and valuable sources of input if you do.

Your choice. Mine is to trust my intuition & my observation of what works in life and what does not. Logic alone is an empty existence, and one that can’t even handle walking across a room.

And if you truly believe you make decisions based on logic, you fool yourself.
