Well bugger me... I've joined in for the first tme & realised that any possible interested parties are offline!? Do I smell or sumat?... Is it me or the topic? I was hoping for a great Saturday night debate! Thought is what makes us who we are? Every species 'thinks' to a certain degree & anthropologists argue that language differentiates humans from animals?... But I don't believe that there is a definitive point?... Species evolve according to their physical & environmental possibilities? Genes & memories contain & maitain all the 'good stuff' & reject or appoint all the crap... so we are on a gradual journey of improvement & enlightenment. Why is it that the scientists don't see that?
