You have a lot of facts and I don't dispute them. I just don't find them significant. You want me to consider your position logically but not use absolutes. The problems I have with that is 1 - You are not making a logical argument you are presenting facts and assuming they prove your conclusion. None of your facts in that last post are even about intelligence, they are about genes or structures or sparks from hitting rocks. 2 - A logical argument can contain absolutes as either premises or its conclusion. If you don't agree with the premises then the argument will not be convincing to you but that does not mean it is illogical. You want to deal with quantifiable facts but its not the facts themselves its the significance of those facts that are in question. Questions like the importance of humans are philosophical questions not questions that can be answered by the percentage of similarity between drosophila and homo sapiens. Tim
