> "the word 'evil' leaves a religiously satanic idea to it that I'm pretty sure animals do not have and people probably didn't have before verbalization. Is this how you see it?"-I was using "good and evil" as a synonym for "right and wrong." But speaking more precisely, there are "senses" of right and wrong in some conscious animals (as adult elephants "knowing" that it is wrong for adolescent elephants to gang up and kill rhinoceroses, which young elephants [i]do[/i] just for the "fun" of it and older elephants teach them not to do that) whereas humans make judgments about what is good and evil based on what they sense is right and wrong, and often when their judgments have nothing to do with their [i]sense[/i] of right and wrong, but merely what they believe the Bible tells them. The latter is when I'd judge that their judgments about good and evil would be demonic, or "satanic" as you put it..
