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

are you famuilar w/ malaria?

mal = bad, aria = air

bad air

thats etomology

we still diagnose ppl w/ 'bad air'

so what?

i fail to see the connection

because when malria came into common knowedge, that was the best way to describe it

and?

what does that have to do with religion?

its not bad air

and a jellyfish isn't actually a fish

you are arguing semantics

its bacteria/virus within the moist air cauing illness

is it not a religios belif that if you muck through the swamp you will fall victim the the bad air?

no

same idea....

no?

no its not

religion is an action you perform without fully understanding why

jelly fish is actually jelly

no its not

there are devils in the swamp?

that's a symptom of religion, not a factor of it

religion is the belief in gods or god

*demons?

yeah, and people are capable of believing in things like that, animals are not

if an animal falls ill, does it believe demons have infected it?
