Genesis 1:25
Compare all
23 So the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
24 Then God said, “Let the earth bring forth the living creature according to its kind: cattle and creeping thing and beast of the earth, each according to its kind”; and it was so.
25 And God made the beast of the earth according to its kind, cattle according to its kind, and everything that creeps on the earth according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.
26 Then God said, a“Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; blet them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over1 all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”  
27 So God created man ain His own image; in the image of God He created him; bmale and female He created them.  
28 Then God blessed them, and God said to them, a“Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and bsubdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that1 moves on the earth.”

Genesis 1:24-26

Please turn to Genesis 1, verse 11. If you have worked with animals, you have some understanding of the realm of midbrain responses. Within the midbrain, there is a powerful God-given resistance to killing your own kind. It comes inherently to humans as the spirit in man.

Every species, with a few exceptions, has a hardwired resistance to killing its own kind. In territorial and mating battles, when animals with antlers and horns fight one another, they head butt in a harmless fashion. I am sure it hurts but it is not lethal. But when they fight with other species, they go to the side to gut and gore. Piranhas will turn their fangs on anything but they fight one another with flicks of a tail. Rattlesnakes will bite anything but they wrestle with one another.

Almost every species has this hardwired resistance to killing its own kind. And when we humans are overwhelmed with anger and fear, we slam head-on into that midbrain resistance that generally prevents us from killing. Only sociopaths, who do not have that resistance, lack this innate violence immune system.
