...The answer to the question “Is Man an animal?” is not a simple one. The shortest answer is “No” but it takes a while, and some thought to sort out what we mean by “animal”. Obviously, Man is not a plant, or a bacterium. He shares many things with all creatures – he has a backbone so he is classed as a vertebrate, and Man suckles his young so he is classed as a mammal. Female humans have placentas, so Man is classed as a placental mammal. Man also shares some things in common with primates, so he is assumed to be an extension of the primate family.
But Man is much more than an animal. For example, as Ray Comfort found out, a human cannot take an orangutan on to an airliner, because the creature is not classed as a human – despite all that evolutionists say about orangutans being just like humans. The airline’s rules are far more sensible than evolutionists.
It's just sad, is all.
What's wrong with Humans being animals?
ReplyDeleteJust because we're animals doesn't mean that we're on the same level as animals.
That's like saying that we are God's creation, so we are on the same level of coolness and importance to God as dirt. Clearly, we are not.
I was digging around on Ray's cartoonist's site. Dig this:
