Yes they can practice deception. We live on a farm and know a coyote will play with a dog and lead him slowly to the pack. Also if my hunting beagle wants to go into a brush area I don’t want him too, he will lead me in a great slow arc, slowly going back to the area he can’t go, the whole time I’m saying to him “ dude , I know what your doing” Isn’t that deception
..that is a false answer if you think you are just an animal driven by natural instincts and, so, has no free choice because "to practice deception" is a choice that only humans are free to do...
@@evaadam3635 No ... humans are animals. There is no biological category for souls vs soulless. I don't believe in magic. So you're saying humans are not animals? You should publish your evidence and win the Nobel prize in biology. If we're not animals, what are we? Do you think we're mammals? Do you believe in evolution? Do you believe the Earth is flat? What other crazy ideas do you have? Is the Earth not billions of years old? Are fossils tricks by the devil?
It's not a deception really in terms of mate communication, because a display's success is a honest fitness signal. Not everything is a representation of mass, it is also can be a representation of fitness, most of the time it is (the communication isn't a display of size or mass in this case, but adaptive fitness in ability to model deception or warnings to predators or prey, the signal to other males in this way is a honest signal, they compete in terms of a honest measure of performance in display transformation capabilities).
You are a detective searching for the truth. The truth is the only that matters. In the Bible multiple miracles were narrated with a few words many years after the events happened. For example the birth of Jesus Christ, that is the most important event in the history of humanity, that was witnessed by many people, was narrated in one page more or less, and that page was written many years after Jesus Christ died. Imagine an event like the Second World War was narrated in one page in one book many years after the war ended. Would you believe it happened? Do you believe it happened? Why? The truth that helps you escape out of the circle is atheism is a logical fallacy that assumes God is the religious idea of the creator of the creation to conclude wrongly no creator exists because a particular idea of God doesn’t exist. Did you understand the atheist logical fallacy? Atheism is a logical fallacy that assumes God is "sky daddy" to conclude wrongly no creator exists because a particular idea of God doesn’t exist. Spinoza was right and nobody listened. An exercise to improve incredibly your life is to read Spinoza. Emergency! To end the war the discovery that atheism is a logical fallacy has to be news. Thank you.
@punkypinko...Your true self is not an animal but a free aware soul.. ...you were probably brain-washed to think your whole being is all animal by these Godlees wannabe science geniuses who hated Accountability...
@@mikel5582That reminds me, in _The_ _Naked_ _Ape_ , Desmond Morris wrote that some monkeys would purposely approach dominant ones in a subservient position with their backs facing them so they could be mounted in an attempt to lighten the mood. Quiet the diplomacy.
"Do Animals Deceive?" TO DECEIVE is a choice that only humans are capable of doing because of the existence of supernatural free will. Humans have free aware immortal souls with the free will to freely choose to believe, or choose not to believe, for any reason.. this is why humans are able to progress or regress because they can make changes through their free choice of beliefs .. Animals have no free aware souls and, so, are NOT capable of perceiving pain or pleasure nor capable of making choices what to believe to change..this is why animals never change, still remain to be same all same all for thousands or millions of years... All animals' screams, cries, actions or reactions, defense mechanisms, deceptions, are not free choices but are just driven by a program that we describe as Natural Instincts designed by the Almighty CREATOR ... it is almost similar to a doll programmed to walk, talk, cry, or laugh but unaware.. this is the reason why we can not hold animals accountable for its actions based on natural instincts beyond its control.. Our loving Almighty God created animals as one of the free blessings HE provided to us to help us survive while we search for the meaning of our lives to hopefully find faith in HIM for our souls' salvation..
How do you explain the fact that chimpanzees make and use tools. Different groups use different sets of tools, and we have seen them teach their young how to make and use them? Also among social animals, they can know which other individuals in their group know certain facts and form plans to act accordingly, such as deceptions and plots involving rival groups.
@@simonhibbs887...that is true to other animals such as birds using tools to build nests, bees or ants using tools to build their giant mansions complete with soldiers with the envy of chimpanzees who are still homeless jumping from tree to tree, hens teaching their chicks what to eat and where to search food, etc etc etc - all instinctual but never have progressed...
@@simonhibbs887..that explains why you never progress in your beliefs because you think you are a chimpanzee...my oh my... ..dude, you are NOT a chimpanzee... wake up
@@evaadam3635 Those are all found objects. Chimpanzees modify objects in specific ways that makes them useful for a particular function. Also it's not instinctive behaviour. Some chimps don't do it at all, different groups have different sets of tools they make and use. They also have to teach each other how to do it. That means at some point chimps figured out how to make these tools and use them from first principles.
@@simonhibbs887well then, explain to us why is a Chimpanzee scratching its head in bewilderment watching a spider, whose brain so tiny we can not even see, building an elaborate beautiful web just to trap insects for food that it did even know exists, like a psychic... ...while the Chimpanzee , whose brain a million times larger than the spider's, is still using stick to collect ants to eat for thousands or millions of years now...never progressed.. .., this grossly violates your evolution propaganda that says, "the larger the brain the smarter one can be" .... your chimpanzee is a living whistle blower that debunks your funny theory 😊
