There are many similarities between human behaviour and animal behaviour, but no animal has shown any capacity to believe, or disbelieve in a Creator. Such an ability can only come from the God given conscious perception and willpower of the human soul.

Everything humans do is animal behavior. We eat, sleep, drink, socialize, breed, rape, steal, try to one up each other to a attract a mate. Raise our young. Humans just have a more highly evolved brain to actually think about the things were doing.
I think I could turn and live with animals,
They do not sweat and whine about their condition, http://www.all-creatures.org/poetry/ar-I-think-I.html
There you go, I sometimes think those "dumb" animals, who are smart enough to read you like a website, are a lot smarter than we supposedly sapient humans.
no animal has shown any capacity to believe, or disbelieve in a Creator.
Perhaps, but then no animal has ever killed his fellow animal due to its differing beliefs. I guess that comes from God too.
I think I'll stick with the animals.
How do you know? Dogs apparently believe in a god; that's the guy who feeds him and walks him.
Now go ahead and tell me that all infants are born believing in god, while I have a good laugh at your silly beliefs.

And then you fundies wonder why we prefer the company of cats, rabbits, horses etc to the likes of you?!
Far more intelligent conversation , for a start.
...and besides, how do you know that they don't believe in Bastet/Sekhmet, Lord Frith/El-Ahrairah/Black Rabbit of Inle, Princesses Celestia & Luna...!
As humans are animals, it's pretty obvious that some behaviors will be similar between different animals. Other behaviors are completely different.
At least one gorilla who was taught sign language showed an awareness of her own death, and a curiosity about what happened then.
Evidence of this "conscious perception and willpower of the human soul", please, and that it can only have come from YOUR god and none other, please. On my desk by Friday.
(Oh, and it ought to be "God-given", dearie. As it stands now, it looks like it's the God that is given conscious perception and willpower.)
In addition to the other animal species mentioned above, elephants, too, have been observed mourning and burying their dead herd-members. If elephant funerals aren't evidence that they believe in something, I'm not sure what is.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
