great Charles Darwin in his time put forward a very interesting theory, which, according to scientists, could well explain all ambiguities related to the origin of species, including the answer to the burning question of the origin of man.Visionary scientists materialists, having at its disposal a great weapon against the Christian doctrine of creation, built almost immediately Darwin's theory to the rank of axioms and indisputable truth.
Now, however, we will not enter into any debate about how all things happen in the world, including the people.We are more interested in another question: What makes us human ...
Man - this is, in fact, simply a highly organized animal with reason.But there is something that distinguishes man from apes?So yet what is it?What makes us human?Let us examine some of the views on this issue.
ability to learn - that's what makes us human.Indeed, learning ability distinguishes man from the higher animals - so appears at first glance.But many dog owners, trainers and coaches do not agree with this statement, confirming the truth of his words many achievements of their pets.Moreover, there are computer programs that can educate themselves, and this is even alive can not be named.
only human nature to think.Maybe.But if you take a closer look at the behavior of many animals, birds and even insects and remember that not even a single scientist in the world to prove the opposite, we can assume that our smaller brothers too, can think ...
Perhaps society makes a man?Yes, society - a great power that can influence the thoughts and actions of each individual.But this, too, is not always.How then turn rogue and hermits?After all, if a company makes a person, then all must be the same?
Another question, exciting the minds of many - it is a question of morality.Just morality, as well as creativity and love seems distinguishes man from the higher animals.In this regard, too, not everything is clear.It is believed that morality can only be an educated man.But does the formation of human morality?To answer this question, you can just look around.Certainly in the life of each person we met brilliantly educated people with excellent manners, pleasant in dialogue, well-dressed, but at the same time able to deliver, and to achieve their goals literally walk through the surrounding bones.Does the formation of human morality?- Alas, it would be too easy ...
love and creativity - that's really what makes us human.Only this can be attributed to a person from the variety of Creation.These qualities bring a man to the Creator."So God created man in His own image, in the image of God he created him;male and female he created them. "(Gen. 1: 27).
Elsewhere (1 Jn. 4: 8) The Scriptures we find remarkable words: "God is Love."So it is a manifestation of love and gives a person the right to this high rank?Man - the best of all creations of the Lord, and the Lord loved us to the point that sacrificed His Son so that we had a chance to be saved and become His children.Great, great love that each of us can know we have in common with God, hence, makes us human ...
brings a person closer to God, therefore, makes us human, and creativity, which is endowed with only the people and none ofanimals.But it must be borne in mind that the creativity of God - primary.He creates from nothing.Human creativity is secondary, because works of art are created only on the basis of what is around or in the human heart ...
Of course, all the arguments on these topics may seem very controversial, like any philosophical reasoning, but can be regarded as goodan attempt to get closer to the answer to one of the most exciting of all the people of questions: Who am I?Location?What For?
