@HexHammer,
I respect your opinion however you are talking about todays situation. I am talking about millions, thousands and hundreds of years ago, when man had little effect on nature. For example fish are the same or similar as they were millions of years ago, but the theory goes that they started to walk on land and then terrestrial species appeared until man appeared. However their survival through time has allowed other species to eat them and survive. Parrot fish eat coral and make sand that makes beaches and there are too many other examples to cite here. All these primitive species created the conditions that allowed us to evolve. Now about outsurviving us, it is possible that I could be wrong, as I said" can" outsurvive..., it doesn't mean they" will" outsurvive us. For example, lets say globalisation spreads a deadly virus around the globe and humanity is wiped out, well what will be left is the primitive creatures, with little brains, until maybe another creature with big brains evolves, as long as the earth is ecological sound to maintain life.
So this being said, I thought of something else to describe what I mean. The thread here is" Define Intelligence". What I mean is that nature has an intelligence of its own, which is obvious I think. I have this example:
Is a computer intelligent? One could answer yes, because it thinks, or one could answer no, because it is the man who created it who is intelligent. So another question: Is the human brain a computer and is it intelligent? One could answer yes because it thinks , or one could answer no because it is nature who created it that is intelligent. See all this is semantics. So wrong or right it just depends in what perspective you look at it. Thanks for replying!
