Why is it that whenever atheists argue that we are the "smartest animals"?

[Gracie]

they don't realize that they are distiuguishing us from "other animals", calling us superior, almost as if we aren't animals at all!
Atrophy, I can assure you those are NOT real Christians.

[idlenessss]

so u think intelligence = superiority

 

[Philosanon]

Um, we are basically smarter than the average animals, maybe not as fast, not as strong, not as energetic or even the most advanced in aerodynamics through the use of our own body without technological assitance or even lung capacity and the ability to breath underwater without aid, but we are the smartests besides monkeys and dolphins.
We arn't superior than them though. One swip from a lion and we're down.
One tangle with a horse and we're in a cast.
One attempt to outrun a zebra and we're being given oxygen.
We're not superior than animals, just smarter.

After reading this I can honestly say that I will never use the argument that humans are the smartest animal ever again.....

 

[jackie]

Sorry I've not made that argument.

 

[L'amourestlechaos]

We are smartest because humans set the standards. A lot of people think dolphins might be smarter. Smarter doesnt mean superior. We are quite weak physically.

 

[Atrophy]

Why atheists? I'm sure some Christians think that way too.

Edit...so what? I still don't understand why you are asking atheists. How does thinking that way make them "not real christians?" You should be addressing this to anyone. And besides... Who cares?

actually most humans aren't that smart
i know plenty of chimps more intelligent then a few people
