> And no... we are not the only species to wage war against each other. But we are the only species to be able to wage war on a global scale.

Other animals in this planet do it out of instinct.

Male lions will kill the cubs in the pride when they take over the alpha male position from an older male. So the females gang up on the alpha male to protect the cubs.

Male crocodiles will often eat the tiny younglings swimming in the water. So a female crocodile will carry her younglings on her back to protect them.

Many arthropods will eat each other, or their mates after mating. For example, dragonfly larvae often prey on their own species in the water. Female spiders routinely eat the males after mating.

Ants attack other ant colonies. So do bees.

The difference is, we human beings are "intelligent". Animals kill as a way to preserve their species or improve the chances that their own genes will be passed on ot the next generation. But we human. We kill for fun. We kill for oil. We kill for gold. We kill for religion, or race or sexual orientation. We kill for any excuse we can find, and when we can't find an excuse, we just don't care. It was not enough to kill with sticks, so we invented spears and arrows. Then gunpowder, guns, artillery, airplanes, bacteria, viruses, nuclear bombs, etc.

If you believe in the Bible, the Bible says that we we were made in God's image. But the Bible is wrong. I don't think God is insane. I doubt God thought making nuclear bombs was good. Neither did God think that owning weapons is a good think. I refuse to believe in a God who creates beings in his own image, and that image is one of murderers and cutthroats.

If you don't believe in God, then human beings evolved as nature's mistake. A being that will hunt everything that moves must be a mistake in evolution. At some point we have killed everything that walks, crawls, slithers, swims or flies on the face of the Earth. Humanity is proof that evolution failed. The human brain, for all its potential and creativity, is in essence a defective organ. Recent research shows tht there is a gene associated with violence and psychopathy.

Either God created that gene, or it evolved. Either way, that gene is a mistake, and there is nothing we can do to get rid of it.

Übergeek 바둑이: .. Perhaps you should study a bit on human nature. Such is as described by the likes of yin yang and the two yetzer's that such as killing for gold, oil, etc is just an expression of our animal nature. The difference only between us and 'animals' is that we think.. such is that we can wrongly translate basic animal instincts into "logical" actions.

That is not God's fault, that is mankind being in denial of his basic nature and blaming the devil every time they do things like commit adultery or kill through feeling emotionally hurt.
