It's hard to accept some realities, but humans not having a special quality and are just like any other animal, not true.
Does that mean any of the religions are right? I didn't say that....

What do we possess that is unique to us? We are gifted in that evolution fell our way, but there's nothing in us that isn't a chemical predisposition that is imposed on us through the transfer of genetic material. The transfer of that material was made possible because it aided our survival for long enough to allow us to pass our genes on.
If you can accept that and a higher being, kudos, you believe what I do. If you can't I repeat, kudos, I can't speak for you.
