I'm simply stating that in order for an animal to realize that there is something greater than they...they would have to be able to realize this. Which I guess is what makes us different form other species correct?

So take the perception of one and try to apply it on a different scale and you would get their view point. Without knowing the way they perceive their realities, we cannot judge their intelligence based by our standards. It just wouldn't apply.

(did this make more sense? I apologize, my writing is sometimes off... h34r: )
