in my opinion, speaking of humans and animals are actually both god-created, only what distinguishes humans and animals is the case of "reason". in humans, God places and gives reason, mind, lust and creates humans as perfectly as possible. Unlike animals, God does not place and does not give reason to animals.

The location of the difference between humans and animals is "HEART", the heart is not in the sense of a lump of meat that is located in the body. But the heart in terms of its use in terms of taste, mind and mind. Heart To listen, feel, and feel. Not the person who did that. If we have "HEART" of course we will feel guilty if we do despicable acts. Steal, lie, commit adultery, get drunk and others that according to our "HEART" are WRONG. "HEART" is a place that contains our souls with our Creator, namely God, the Lord of Hosts. The place where we live, the true self.

 The biggest difference is how our senses work compared to animals.

All of our senses are to some extent different based on what specific animal you take in consideration. Examples: eagles are able to see prey from a distance from which a human couldn't destinguish it from it's surroundings.  Dogs can sniff out a sent from far away. Snakes have thermal vision. Cats see better in the dark than in the light, etc.

Depending on which animal you try to compare us to, there are so many differences in how our senses work that the real question is: "what resemblences do humans share with animals?"


"What is the difference between humans and animals?" A very common question raised by elementary school children when they were introduced to Natural Science by their teachers. Very simply, the teacher will definitely give answers that are in accordance with the contents of the science textbooks he learned and which are easily understood by the child, for example, humans are good at laughing, Having feelings of shame, being able to distinguish between good and bad, good at making things art and so on. All explanations are very long and there is no end if new questions arise from the child.

In the concept of philosophy, the answer is quite simple, maybe this answer is rarely thought of by most intelligent people who do not want to think deeply in a narrow scope. Actually we do not need to bother thinking about what answers are right to give a picture of the differences between humans and animals, because the most logical, simple and very identical answer to humans is "Man is a asker"

In the book "Today's Philosophy" the work of Dr. DR. R.F Beerling wrote that Sartre, a French philosopher, said that "consciousness in humans is really asking questions"

If something is questioned, there will always be 3 aspects. That is 1) someone who asks, namely human 2) something that is asked, usually in the most general sense, and 3) something that is the subject of the question, maybe that is the meaning / the purpose / result of the fact being asked.

The answers that everyone gives can always be different because everyone's view of something will not be nearly the same, but the question is always the same. Before all that he did not understand clearly and clearly the intent and purpose, humans will never stop asking questions and keep asking. So, the question will not be asked by humans if the reality experienced by humans is clear, because the purpose of the question is to explain reality. By answering the questions, man finds the truth. So he gets satisfaction from the answers he already knows.

In essence, "Know" is a satisfaction that is rarely realized by humans in general. That is human.
