IMDB rating: 5.80 Plot: Southern Texas. Savannah and Cooper, a young couple in love, drive through the desert in a black 70s Cadillac convertible. Unaware that they are being followed, they check into a motel at the Mexican border. When Savannah leaves to buy food, a cop sneaks into the room, pulls his gun on Cooper, accuses him of murder and tries to arrest him. But Savannah, who had become suspicious, manages to turn the tables: She surprises the cop, ties him up and frees Cooper. But just as the young lovers jump into their car, a stranger steps out of the shadows and kills Cooper at point blank… Three weeks later. Hollywood, California. In a hotel suite overlooking the Sunset Strip, a man is being water boarded by a private detective. The information he needs is: “Who killed Babyface?” When the man refuses to cooperate and shows nothing but contempt for his captor, the torture continues. Layer by layer, the truth about Cooper alias Babyface is revealed. A complex web of murder, revenge, atonement and forgiveness unfolds, culminating in the ultimate question: What is the definition of absolute evil? |

Do the Biblical behavioral injunctions apply to other animals?
If not, how are they an absolute standard? If you can understand good and evil being relative to humans, then empirical standards are perfectly suited to judge our values based on.
Wow, my corrections really made that last sentence hard to understand, but hopefully it’s clear enough. I don’t give thumbs down to anyone who bothers to answer. Thanks.
Ecclesiastes 3:19 For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity.
Hear that? We’re made in god’s image.
So when I was screaming "Oh god! Oh god!" I was talking to you.

other animals
and there the wheels fell off your premise bus. People are not animals
Every animal, fills a role a purpose a niche in an evironmental system. each serving a purpose that allows that system to thrive indefinatly. No animal chooses if it will fullfill it’s role, it is driven by the built in programing (aka instinct) to do so.
Man fills no role, serves no purpose, fills no niche in an environment, He was speacial made by God, in His image to fellowship with God. To this end he was given free will (not instinct)

The answer lies in the imago dei, but I suspect you’d rather have a tooth pulled than endure long winded explication of that. We are image bearers and as such required to mirror God’s character.

Ecclesiastes is the most misunderstood and misquoted book in the Bible. Its basically a lament by a king who made his mistakes and then, at the very end of the book, finally realizes how wrong he had been and that he should have been following God the whole time. So… all these people quoting how to live from Ecclesiastes are wrong… they’re actually quoting the king’s lament on how NOT to live.
Exercise in point, everything in Ecclesiastes EXCEPT the last paragraph is to be taken as contrary witness. An example of what not to do, what not to believe. The verse you quoted, look at the context, and take it as a contrary witness, a witness of what not to do, what not to believe, how not to live.
While the rest of the Bible excels at teaching us how to live, very few people realize that there would be books in the Bible that teach us what not to do as their sole purpose. That’s what Ecclesiastes is.
I simply have a feeling you got this question from that book, and because of that all I can do is provide an answer on the nature of that book…
