First of all, sorry about that double post thingie up there... I have no clue why it got up there twice, but I can't delete the second. Oh well, you'll live.
So, you say dragons are intelectual. I personally disagree, but if you have any reasons why you think so, I'm listening. My reasons for disagreeing, I believe God made us different from all other animals. Of course other animals are smart, but we, I believe, are the only creatures out there that are as you would say, "intelectual". Alrighty, there you go. However, we may have the religion factor with some; may not believe all I do, but these are just my thoughts.
Beware of using "because God said so" as a justification. Anyone can say it, but few can actually give a logical arguement to back it up.
Humans are perhaps the stupidest of all animals because we fail to recognize the intelligence of others. Europeans once thought the Incans and the Aztecs to be just subhuman animals because "God said so" and now we realize only later that they are actually quite smart.
We are constantly finding how we've underestimated the intelligence of animals. Chimps use tools. Rats dream. Dolphins can paint (though without human hands it's hard for them). Termites build edifices at least 100 times they're size.
And when you look at the achievements of the human race, we are mostly taught how to use our technology from birth. When you were born, you did not build a computer, cell phone and you did not rediscover Einstein's equation by yourself. All the human intelligence we have today is the result of only a few geniuses and only proven true by the average idiot.
Have you ever seen a drunk person? You can't exactly call that God given intelligance.
