What a load of begging questions. I wonder what you have to be, to be special according to the flavor of meaning you just happen to prefer?


> What a load of begging questions.

The expression "begging the question" doesn't mean what you think it does.

The answer is obvious -- no particular form of life is special or supernatural. It's all part of natural selection, changing species adapting to a changing environment. And this isn't just some hypothesis, it's the central idea in evolution, a very well-supported scientific theory.

And our "flavor of meaning" has no part to play, only objective evidence, the evidence that overwhelmingly supports the theory of evolution.
