You've yet to explain why the feelings, if indeed they exist, would add up less than those of other organisms.
Personally, I don't make conclusions about complex issues through mere personal observation, so I'll leave looking at the dog and the grass to you.
What you're basically saying is that that which we cannot perceive through our senses cannot exist. |
Sometimes we must use common sense to discern between two different things. I'm sure if I polled people across Canada asking them if an animal or plant had more feelings/thoughts the vast majority would say animals. Common sense will prevail.
Ok, I'll explain. Animals have feelings, thoughts, emotions, and thinking capabilities. If plants do, it is probably 1% of what animals have. Question...would you rather kill a human or a fish? You'd probably pick to kill the fish, since you would view it morally better. Same thing goes for me...I would rather kill a clover then a chicken since it is morally better. A clover has less feelings/thoughts then a chicken, and a human has more feelings/thoughts then a fish. Common sense.
