I think it really depends on one's definition of intelligence, but, yes, I do believe many animals have abilities of thinking, memory, adaption, and learning, though often not as advanced as humans (with a few exceptions of people I know :D).
To the person below me: do you think you would enjoy fame during your whole lifetime?
I guess it would depend on the type of fame... fame as an actress or movie star? no.
PBM: Which do you do: Eat what you would like to eat, or, Eat what you know is good for you, but is not your favourite? Why?
You remind me of Socrates: "Most men live to eat. I eat to live." (misquote, let me apologise for my bad memory...and if it wasn't Socrates then I'll kill myself)
Probably a balance of both, Adelheid. Eat what you know is good for you on most occasions, but every now and then, eat something that tastes delicious but is not healthy. The ultimate is to like what is good for you. :D There are some foods that taste great and are great as well...
To the person below me: What do you fear most? E.g. spiders/snakes/cockroaches/heights/mice/lice/exams? :brow:
None of those. I fear sharks. :D They are gruelsome creatures of the sea who show no mercy.
Do you fear the unknown? Or do you usually shrug it off, and wait for it to become known first?
I see an Australian speaking. :D Pity you live in a country with no ocean bordering...else you could swim with one. With grey nurse sharks, in fact, in the Sydney Aquarium.Quote:

Honestly, shark attacks are very rare. People eat more sharks than sharks eat people...the grey nurse shark (harmless) has been hunted almost to extinction by humans...it's now the first shark species on the endangered species list...you may be thinking of the shark attack in Adelaide we had...was it last year? on the 18-yr old guy? Well that was horrific but still rare.
Snakes and things are more common.
In Australia at least. :p
What about donkeys? I have it on good authority that more people are killed by donkeys than are killed in air crashes...
Shrug it off, mostly. There's not much point fearing the unknown when you don't know what it is. :brow:Quote:

To the person below me: How do you define "truth", if indeed you believe there is such a thing...
Well, well, it's a relief to hear that the Sharks are becoming extinct. It's a pity though, that they are still populated enough for one to meet ifyou have a cut in the Ocean :D
Truth? The Bible is Truth. Every single word of it. Since God is truth, everything He speaks is therefore Truth.
What do you believe in?
I believe in the equality of all things,
I believe in the unimportance of human life,
I believe in no religion being superior.
For those who don't know, it's called atheism. :p
PBM: I thought God was Love?
Or is Love Truth?
And Truth Love?
There are many names to God, and those you listed are but a few of them. He is love, yes, and Truth, as well as Mercy, Justice, Compassionate. Above all, He is the same. Yesterday, Today and Forever. What you saw Him capable of yesterday, he is more than capable of today, and in the future.
PBM: Don't you think anything you believe in is considered religion? Otherwise, what IS religion in your opinion?
Good question. I usually think of religion as
thoughQuote:
Belief in and reverence for a supernatural power or powers regarded as creator and governor of the universe.
andQuote:
A set of beliefs, values, and practices based on the teachings of a spiritual leader.
are also religion.Quote:
A cause, principle, or activity pursued with zeal or conscientious devotion.
In which case, Shakespeare is my bible. :p
As Dyrwen would say, I can believe I can fly...
...but that belief in itself is not a religion unless I worship it...
..worship my imaginary wings...
...I could worship my imagination...
...but would that be religion?
PBM: Do you like throwing pebbles on water?
Yes I love doing it I cant get them to skip though.
horrible creatures I once lost a toe nail because one stood on my toe.Quote:

PBM: Same question.
Actually I have the same opinion . Fate Good and fate Evil in that everything happens for a reason or as a test and although you cant change fate (the cirrcumstances(is that spelt right??) you do shape your own destinyy/path/life by the choices you make
PBM Same Q this is interesting
Yah I believe in fate. Some people say tha they are in controle of theirlives and can shape their desteny. But not for sure. We are not in total controle of ourlives and there is not a total controle over them also. There are choices that we are faced to make; and the decision is totaly ours. Fate interfere when evrything is out of controle.
...uh! I like the subject.Same Q
Hmmm, fate, interesting question. I believe in fate to a limit. Does everything, the history of the world, seem written in a book somewhere? No. Many things happen for a reason, I do not believe in coincidences, and every event does have some sort of significance that we cannot change; even an attempt of changing it would seem significant. Personally, I believe more in autonomy than fate/destiny; the future does exist, and perhaps already underwent any type of formation by some questionable higher Being, but fate seems much more idea-based in the human psyche than actual (to me).
To the person below me: same question --
