I understand what your saying but you totally miss my point. I was not attempting to debate the existence of God nor postulate that animals have emotions. My comments were purely etymological, the history for the meaning of words.

Anthropomorphism is a phenomenon that is an act in which people describe animals, inanimate objects as having emotions.

To say that the dog as happy, is to say without knowing whether it is true or not.

This has absolutely nothing to do with God or the existence of God.

I was not attempting to debate the existence of God . . .

Nor am I. I am just exhibiting how clever I seem to be. :•)
