Can you name some animals that have no defense mechanism? |
Since all animals are intellen, then, it is expected and predicted that all of them have defense mechanisms... |
You appear to be contradicting yourself. Are animals intellen or naturen? Quote (MrIntelligentDesign @ Oct. 06 2015,05:14) | ... Yes, intelligence is always having two or more solutions but those animals that you are saying don't use that.
Humans do it, but I don't consider humans as animals. I called them intellen beings. |

I am not contradicting myself. I said and claimed that all animals are intellen and all animals except humans have no intelligence but instinct only.
Is that a contradiction? |
If I understand your claim, animals are intellen (created by intelligence) but are not themselves intelligent, while humans are intellen but are also intelligent. That is not a contradiction according to your terminology. However, you are asserting without evidence that animals are intellen, that humans are intellen, and that no animals are intelligent. The best available evidence is that humans are animals, that animals including humans became the way they are through evolution, and that some animals are capable of the same sorts of intelligent behavior displayed by humans (complex communication, delayed gratification, tool using, creative problem solving, etc.), albeit at much lower levels, and are not completely constrained by instinctive behavior.
You appear to be analyzing a deluded and false version of reality. |
"albeit at much lower levels"
I disagree with that.
