(16,459 posts)Adam was human in body, but was he human in mind?
The defining trait of a human is the ability to think. In humans, the ability to think has reached an exceptional height that distinguishes them from all other animals.
The very concept that we should explore and judge and weigh each other and the world in terms of thinking, that is the basis of zoroastrian philosophy, which eventually inspired greek philosophy, which eventually (after lots of steps and lucky historical coincidences) lead to the scientific method and where we are today.
Look at what us humans have built and tremble in awe, for we are just one more link in a chain that began millennia ago.
Adam could not have built anything. He wasted his days and blindly accepted what he was told.
