Well if it was so simple then there wouldn't be so many types of people and so many interests. What is considered good to one person is considered wrong to others
Ye, but that's because people (and other animals) fail. Even among the animals there are some who are cast out of the group because they break the rules. It's only we humans who punish people either by death or prison. In the animal world they just get cast out of the group. Also, not all animals are like this. It's the social animals like monkeys, humans, dogs, etc which have as advanced rules as this.
your going to have a much harder time finding a puppy that dislikes to play ball then finding a human that dislikes playing ball. Perhaps this evolutionary came with humans ability to think abstractly, as man can rely more so on mind then instinct.
Even though it's not exactly related to the rule things I talked about, I can say that all animals are different. The reason they like football and other things is that it's a part of their nature, they train so they can hunt. Playing football is good for their reflexes and stamina and all that, while we humans aren't like that. We humans even drastically reduce our life span by training too much. Our body hasn't evolved in such a way. We're originally herbivores, so we can eat stuff which doesn't move away, while dogs which are carnivores need to chase their food, thus they need to train. Even if we give the food to them on a plate they still train. Also, there has been done a lot of research on animals lately, and it would seem we humans aren't as high above the animals as we would like to think. We do have a bigger brain though, and it's slightly more advanced than the other animals brains too.
And shiiK, there are so many similarities between humans and monkeys it's so certain they're our predecessors it's no doubt about it. They have found tons of other links (which are extincted now) between us and monkeys it's as certain as it could get.
And there are probably someone thinking "But he said that was the last thing he would say.", well, read again because I said it's the last thing I'll say about RELIGION.
Edit: Elenai, plz stop, you're tempting me so much to just come and contradict you, but to contribute to the peace I will try to keep it to myself. I'm at the edge of tipping over now.
"Inevitably, mankind is bound to having some form of Faith." I want to say you otherwise so much there, but, argh,aaaah.
