The irony with you anti-scientific people is often times so profound that it boggles the mind wrestling with what it's like to maintain mutually exclusive perspectives simultaneously. 

You cannot on the same hand declare that non-human animals do not have consciousness while simultaneously maintaining the position that we don't have enough knowledge to assess the situation. Congratulations, you just contradicted your own position.

All of the evidence to date supports the idea that some non-human animals have consciousness, but I'm sure some nobody on the internet has it all figured out, nevermind the countless published science and plethora of scientists who agree.

That literally reads like nothing. It is a proven fact that animals don't have sense of morality, character, appreciation of beauty and art, sense of humor and so on despite having a complex brains. Just observe the wild life how it that not provable? you didn't answer any of my question about the complexity. Then you refer to some " published science" without actually discussing the ideas....  Huh.

I think it is safe to say this is the best time to end this empty cycle. I enjoyed the topic, especially Rol's posts

This is simply not true. Animals has shown a sense of humour, appreciation of beauty, sadness, love and even a sense of right and wrong. We have been able to learn apes sign language and communicate with them, (and they've expressed emotions in these conversations). There is a lot less separating animals and humans than you think. We aren't some unique species, 99% of our DNA is shared with chimpanzees.
