People and Animals

Have you ever noticed the similarities between humans and animals? Let’s consider comparing an elephant to a person. Elephants have four limbs just like we do. Sure they may use there appendages differently but still the number is four. Elephants have a mouth, a nose, and eyes just like we do. Yes, I realize their noses are much larger than ours. Elephants eat food and drink water just like we do. And guess what… they poop just like us as well. Of the course the quantity that is produced by elephants is slightly more than humans. Now think about every animal that fits into this criteria: dogs, cats, tigers, cows, sheep, pigs, wolves, deer, turtles, etc. And yes I realize that you will be able to come up with animals that won’t fit into this category, say lobster and spiders which have more than four appendages or fish which have a single tail instead of two legs but essentially the animals are primarily very similar.  Earth is basically a closed loop; the environment is conducive to this kind of life.

Scientists have spent a very long time separating all of Earths organisms into groups. But you can see how ironically similar all the species are. Now if you can grasp the concept of all the animals being more similar than different, then is it possible to have other beings on foreign planets that are unlike anything imaginable? What if on other planets of hot methane gas and boiling magma, where we think it could never be possible for life, there is life but unlike anything we know. Let’s call it Efil. I mean if it doesn’t fit into the group of Earth life then I guess we should call it something different, right?
