["How can animals sense things we cant?"]
Maybe because they have no capacity to be rational and haven't had rationalism rammed down their orifices for the past three hundred years, numbing their senses.

There you go, RR, proud to be irrational.
It must suck hard to be eternally disappointed.
Rationalism: destroying religious nutjobs since 1713.
On another note, why have rationalism rammed down your throat, when you can have a batshit insane religion, turning you into a mindless robot? Yeah, that sounds a lot better.
Wow. That whole post is chock-full of stupid.
You can't just google animal senses? No, clearly your cat must be seeing angels...

"Maybe because they have no capacity to be rational and haven't had rationalism rammed down their orifices for the past three hundred years, numbing their senses. "
So, you're saying that animals are superior to humans?
Well, to the likes of you lot at Ruptured Retards, thay are...!
Washoe the chimpanzee, Kanzi the bonobo...!
The history of science is pretty well documented; sorry, $teve, people noticed well before 1713 that dogs could hear things they couldn't, that what we could see was the visible spectrum etc.
Oh, so is that why rapturites can see God while anyone with the tiniest amount of reason can't? Tell us then, what part of the spectrum is God on? Ultraviolet? Infrared? X-Ray? Microwave? Wait, it MUST be microwave. That's why he keeps appearing on food!
Well, we can see better than deep-sea fish or moles, we have better colour vision than dogs and I guess you can find other examples of animals that cannot hear, taste or feel as good as humans. So what was the point again?
The old "Kelly Bundy" theory of knowledge. Every time you learn another fact, it crowds out some other piece of knowledge. For example, if a guy learns calculus, he immediately forgets his built-in, God-given knowledge of football and car repair.

Obviously the deep-sea fish and moles have already fallen prey to liberal secularist rationalism. We must avoid their fate by lobotomizing ourselves and sitting in front of a crucifix all day long.
Ah, but we can build machines that can sense the same things these animals can. We can even build machines that can sense things these animals can't .
But to do so, we have to be willing to accept the evidence for things like radio waves and ultraviolet light, even where such evidence contradicts the Bible.
Exactly, it's only rationalism that makes us think we can't fly. However, one day we will join our brother bats in their glorious yet irrational aeronautical endeavours, er ...soon.
Animals are magic! News at 11!
EDIT: That entire thread is a bucket of insane.
"I think cats and other animals can perceive a bit more of the spiritual realm than we can."

Nostalgia and yearning for "the Good Old Days". Usually by people who don't actually know anything about "the Good Old Days", and just sort of envision whatever period it is as being a time when everyone thought and believed exactly the same things as themselves, whether or not such a time ever actually existed.

and we will become birds like they are!
The deer in my area seem to be at a disadvantage of lacking the rationality to not dart out in front 2,000-pound-plus pieces of steel moving at 70 miles per hour. That rarely works out well for them.
"I think cats and other animals can perceive a bit more of the spiritual realm than we can."
My dogs lick their own assholes. And one of them jumps up and barks when he farts becaue he doesn't know where the noise comes from. I'm just not seeing much spiritual capacity there at all, but maybe that's my rational mind fooling me.
and haven't had rationalism rammed down their orifices
Steve I would like you to meet my dear friend Sigmund, he would love to hear about that "orifices getting rammed" part of your story.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
