Animals have brains. Some highly advanced. Why is their mind not as advanced as a humans? After all brain activity is no more than a chemical process. Why don't we see high mind activity in the animal kingdom?

Humans are animals.

The life on earth consists of plants and animals. Nobody with a lick of sense says "plants and animals and humans"

You make the incorrect assumption that humans have the most advanced brains. Whales brains can process SONAR and bats brains RADAR. Lobsters are biologically immortal and immune to cancer/neurological disorders.

Not that such an attitude is unexpected of a follower of Abraham.

It just seems so egotistical for someone to think they actually are completely removed from the animal kingdom. As if we just happened to have been put here because the creator of the universe had us in mind. Not any of those other smelly, dumb animals. No, you see, they don't have anything in common with us at all. Those animals are godless, soulless creatures.

Ummmm. Don't know if you have a learning disability or not but those things Are as analogous to a situation as the phrase "acting like animals". Here let me break it down for you.

"James drinks like a fish"
Fish live in water so it is a hyperbole to say that he drinks a lot, because fish live in water you get it. If they didn't live in water it would mean nothing.

"James went to paint the town red tonight"
This means he will go to the point if reckless abandon, as if so much blood will be spilled from his drunken brawls the town will be red from blood, because blood is red get it?
If blood was not red it would mean nothing.

"James acts like an animal when he drinks"
He does not act as the same person drunk as he does sober. It's as if he is not human anymore, because he does not display human morality but the morality of an animal, animals aren't human get it?
If animals acted like humans then it would mean nothing.

I hope this lesson in colloquial expressions has helped you.
Are you high? Here is a quick breakdown cause it seems like you are confused:

1. Someone made a comment about ISIS being animals.
2. You took the phrase as a chance to attack a straw man about animals lacking morality as if this somehow invalidated subjective morality.
3. I made a quick joke about how literal you were being and it went over your head.
4. You responded with nonsense...completely lost

Alfred Russell Wallace, who, with Darwin, devised the evolution theory, says: "There must have been three interpositions of a Divine and supernatural power to account for things as they are: _the agreement of science with Genesis is very striking_: There is a gulf between matter and nothing; one between life and the non-living; and a third between man and the lower creation; and science can not bridge them!"
This "striking agreement" between science and Genesis I, is shown by the fact that at least 11 great events are enumerated in the same order as claimed by modern science: 1. The earth was "waste and void"; 2. "Darkness was upon the face of the deep"; 3. Light appears; 4. A clearing expanse, or firmament; 5. The elevation of the land and the formation of the seas; 6. Grass, herbs and fruit trees appear; 7. The sun, moon and stars _appear_; 8. Marine animals were created; 9. "Winged fowls" were created; 10. Land animals were created; 11. Man was created.
The chance of guessing the exact order of these 11 great events is ascertained by the law of permutations-the product of the numbers from 1 to 11, which is 39,916,800. Therefore, Moses had one chance out of 39,916,800 to guess the correct order of these 11 great events, as revealed both by science and revelation. If, for example, the first 11 letters of the alphabet were arranged in some unknown miscellaneous order, any one would have but one chance out of 39,916,800 to guess the order. If Moses did not have the order revealed to him, he never could have guessed it. Therefore, he was inspired and was told the order.
This mathematical demonstration annihilates the contradicting theory of evolution. At once it proves that the account was divinely inspired, and man came by special creation and not by evolution. The fact that the language of Genesis is in remarkable harmony with all proven modern scientific theories, and manifestly confirmed by them, is a proof in favor of the creation story, decisive and final

The fact that any of you can feed and clothe yourselves is astounding.
