If so, is "reality" an illusion projected into our brains by God(s) and/or devils? What do you think about people who think that way? Not crazy fools, but just people who think that, in some way, how we see the world is created in our minds by God. So that is the reason we owe our existance to God, because it is at His whim. If He wanted to turn us into frogs, he could. Or maybe the frogs believe they are just like us, but just not getting the best of the deal. How do we know if anamals feel mentally inferior to humans, since we are convinced we are the smartest animals ever to exist. Birds communicate in a way that humans never could, so does this flow of communication and information to some degree define how birds understand the world (and the same for humans in their own limited way)? I mean, birds must feel about a million times better than anyone else at singing. They fly around and show off, and wonder why these big idiots walking around below don't clap and cheer.
