Same argument as People who wear glasses wage war against god.

Disclaimer: I believe people should use science. That's why we were given advance brains.

Out of curiosity, how were we "given" advanced brains? And how are they advanced? Dolphins can do some amazing things with their brains that we can't.

Sure I don't disagree. I'm sure the dolphins will thank us for the fish when they leave the planet as is tradition for their people. In general, I Don't see animals making wonders that shape the earth or discovering secrets of the universe. Without human intervention animals will live in the wild and they will never be anything more than that. Humanity can do more like I dk make glasses for someone that needs them.

That's a very human-centric view. We know that both dolphins and elephants have comparable brains, they're just different.

Certainly is and you are right. If you have the ability to do more and don't then Might as well be a normal animal and live like they did in eden as "god intended" for the original prototypes. A fish that doesn't swim is not using it's best attribute. Humanity best attributes are intelligence, imagination, innovation and the will to use all 3. That combined with the extended life gene (relative to most animals) to learn from experience got us were we are today. So all I want are leaders that know what got us here and STFU on crap like IVF. If it's unnatural than so are glasses and literally everything humanity does.
