no they don't
no heriarchies do not require belief
'splain
hierarchies are just a way of ranking one thing as better than another, but you don't need belief for that
you are a small wolf, there are other wolves but they are all larger
therefore you are bottom wolf
no belief necessary
Eric - you contradicted yourself......you need to believe one thing is better than the other.....
there is no belief behind knowing one is better than another
ahhh but the female wolf has to choose who to mate with
you don't "believe" it, you just behave within the constructs of the hierarchy
there is a belif there
how about a 200m race
5 people run it and they all come in different places
this is a heirarchy
you have to be capable of complex thought to be capable of belief
is it the silkiest coat.........the biggst? the stealthiest.........but thats what makes us different.....the values we choose
animals dont necessarily choose
but lobsters don't choose those values, they just naturally behave within that structure
they instinctually go for whoever is at the top of the heirarchy
the lobster isn't thinking "i'm gonna mate with the biggest lobster," it's just naturally and instinctively choosing to mate with whatever has the greatest chance for successful procreation
hyenas choose jaw strenghth over running!
boom
but those thick coats aren't chosen because they believe anything, they just choose them because they instinctively are attracted to thicker coats
hyenas dont need to run
they rely on packs and strong jaws to get a kill
hyenas are instinctively attracted to hyenas with tougher jaws, no belief required
there is a reason hyenas have 10x the jaw strenght, but run slower than most dog species
because of evolution
it would be like saying cheetahs choose speed over strength
they don't choose those things, it just happens that the ones that survived the game of life had those qualities
because momma hyena didnt run & grandpa neither,,,,,,
they dont choose it, it's the attribute they find most appealing
or the attribute that keeps them alive
exactly & those are religion
no because there is no belief behind it
