The message
from John Cartmell contains these words:

And secondly the differences between humans, most of whom can
demonstrate they can think at least to a certain extent,

By their behaviour.

What has that got to do with the price of fish?

The only real way of demonstrating that other people think is by observing
their behaviour.

Speaking your own private language again or are you really so divorced
from reality as to believe that behaviour* is the only real indication
of thinking?

seem to have no bearing on the lack of rational thought in animals.

Which can be assessed by their behaviour.

Certainly the lack of rational thought can be assessed by their behaviour

You are showing your ignorance.

So you are reduced to mindless insults again. If rational thought can be
assessed by observation so can its absence.

[Snip]

And as for Genesis if you believe there is any science in Genesis you are a
bigger prat than even I took you to be.

Repeatedly.

Pompous prat, pompous prat, pompous prat, pompous prat, etc.

*In this context human behaviour excludes written or oral communication.
