Hey, Ray: if Invertebrates aren't animals, why do Octopodes have problem solving faculties? Present an Octopus with a closed jar with something obviously edible within, it'll figure out that to get to said tasty comestible, it has to unscrew the lid from the jar to get to such.
...and nobody tell Cray-Ray about Paul the Octopus, lest his head asplodes due to [I]this[/I] Octop[I]odes[/I]! X3
Chimpanzees have problem-solving faculties; it's how they've been determined that, certainly in the case of the Great Apes, they are self-aware. Now, either you're admitting that Chimpanzees - whom we humans share at least 98% of our DNA with, therefore Darwin was right all along - aren't animals neither, or are you gonna have to be so argumentally cornered as to be forced to admit you were wrong all along, and that invertebrates are animals. Thus making you, your 'Cre(a)ti(o)nist' cause, and the cause of fundie Christainity look so humiliated & full of FAIL in the eyes of the sane world, that all you're doing - via making people think twice about becoming one of you lot - is accelering fundie Christainity's inevitable demise.
After all, considering his track record of derp, Ray Cumfart...:
1- Was forced to apologise when he was confronted with the fruits of his own ignorance: his assuming that 'Bibliophile' = Paedophile.
2- Was forced to accept that Bananas as we know them today were as a result of human intervention, and not a 'Creator'.
3- Had to admit that the 'Crockoduck' - in the most pathetic form of backpedalling imaginable - was just a 'joke', when confronted by the actual transitional form proof: http://io9.com/kirk-camerons-crocoduck-came-back-to-bite-him-in-the-1637687282 Spinosaurus. [/'Be Careful What You Wish For']
4- Who thinks he knows infinitely more than we Atheists who are such 'fools' as to be utterly blind to his 'superior knowledge', and is so educated himself, that he thinks the word 'Heinous' is spelled 'Hennas'.
5- Was forced to admit that Gravity exists in space, when he previously claimed to 'know for a fact' that it didn't.
Ray Cumfart is now reduced to being an intellectual masochist - a la Troll(ed)4Life - with his coming up with BS that is argumentally annihilated by a combination of those educationally superior to him, and his Dunning-Kruger-esque inability to admit his entire 'beliefs-based mindset is utterly wrong in every conceivable way. And has been proved wrong so many times, he's now living in a rusted old U-Boat in that river in Egypt.

"Is it possible to be a Poe that lacks enough self-awareness to know that it is a Poe?
An accidental/unintentional/subconscious Poe?
I fear RayRay is becoming a subset of one."
It is entirely possible - as per L. Ron Hubbard - to believe in your own hype. Or in Ray Cumfart's case, be completely ignorant, and be proud of it (Andy Schaftafly claims to be an expert on subjects he doesn't have grade school 101 knowledge of, never mind degrees in such). At least the Aussie Brainiac Dr. Karl Kruszelnicki (in his weekly science Q&A phone-in on Rhod Sharp's programme on BBC Radio 5) will readily say 'I don't know' if asked a question on something he's not clued-up about (but promises to have an answer by the next broadcast); as he says, 'Saying "I don't know" is the beginning of wisdom'. Which is something Ray daren't say, lest his whole 'Belief' house of cards collapses, because he'd have to admit his 'Faith' is nothing more than a LIE. But then, you cannot say 'Belief' without the word LIE.
He's scared of losing what is potentially his only source of income: his sheep he fleeces with his BS. Yet look at Jonathan Edwards, Ray: since he asked himself questions that were a little too doctrinally lethal, he's carved himself a nice business in sports presenting on TV, and on the speech circuit. Still here, career still on the up & up. The only thing dead is his 'faith'. It's time you put that metaphorical Desert Eagle loaded with the .50 cal. Black Talon rounds of Logic to your head, and pull the intellectual trigger. It won't kill you, Ray. Just ask Mr. Edwards.
Moral: The saying 'It is better to be thought of a fool and remain silent, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt'. It exists for a reason. In other words, until you do know what you're talking about - with hard, solid, empirical Peer Reviewed evidence to back up what you say - STFU. But then if you did know, at least on the same level as what scientists are certainly talking about, you wouldn't be an ignorant subhuman fundie, Ray Cumfart.
Just ask Dr. Buzz Aldrin. A Presbyterian Christian - and a Conservative one at that - he may be, but he accepts the Big Bang & Evolution; he can easily reconcile his faith with proven scientific fact. Considering his unique perspective on things, certainly re. that day in 1969, are you going to question him? Remember: the last one who thought he could, got decked by Dr. Aldrin.
