In the bible, Genesis, it says that when God created Mankind, he gave us something special which animals didn't have.

What do you think this is?

God gave us the gift of intelligence, I suppose. Call it a soul or call it a brain. We can assume its that we are separate from the animal kingdom.

We could keep guessing all year but I think the gift is the intelligence and we are the smartest on the planet and we learned how to survive from the beginning and look how far we went with our life's and technology plus we've been on the moon a thousand years ago no one would have thought it would be possible

Why Don't you prove me Wrong? If you know that this is all false than prove it! I was taught a lot of lessons from the bible. Plus if the Bible is False, Every Continent has its own Version of Noah's Ark. They Knew that there was a Great Flood!Everyone has Religion. Billions of people Believe in a God.Your Very right, I wasn't there when these events took place.But I do believe in God. Its to risky to not believe in a God, Because if your wrong then you would have dragged every person that followed you.I would rather Believe in God than nothing.This is were I stand.

I never said you couldn't believe, that is my theory. I might have sounded a little more offensive than I wanted to, and for that, I appologise. Theories, theories, that is everything. every conception of thought is based on theory. You are just as right as I am until something proves one of us wrong. I did not mean to sound like I did.

You did not offend me one bit. this was just my First big Debate. I got a little exited. I just don't want you believing the wrong thing before you die. In revelation it says that Jesus will return once the fullness of the Gentiles has succeeded. That could be at any time. My faith isn't the Strongest. I'm only 13, and I'm taking theology classes (Study of God).

Well I think that this gift that God gave us is the gift of free will. I see all these people talking about the starving children in africa and they are pointing out all the problems in the world. But it isn't God's fault, it is all our fault, most every problem we are having is the consequences of our actions.

And whoever is pointing out all of these problems in the world, GO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THEM if you have such a big problem with them. You have a free will, so go fix them.

Hmm... I see what you mean by how we do not control where we are born and such...

But I know that I have the free will to make choices throughout my life, I decide what cereal to eat in the morning, I decide what job to get. These things may be affected by my life experiences, but they are not controlled by them.

I can see my topic is trailing off a bit. I must say that a lot of people agree with me saying that the soul is the gift.

however do we only thik this because this is what we were taught or told?

Nope, its because we cant think of anything else.

I say it is intelligence, but who knows, it can be the soul that delivers us intelligence.
