Man is not animal. We are a separate creation.
God did not create: the beasts of the fields including man
God did not create: the birds of the air including man
We are created in His image, for His glory. I do not live my life like another creation. If we were supposed to, animals would talk and have jobs.

We are created in His image, for His glory.
It's far more accurate to say that God was created in man's image, so that man could think he was less worthless than he is.
animals would talk and have jobs.
Some do. They're called humans.
Man is not animal.
What are we then? Fungis?
We are a separate creation.

Wut?

English: Do you speak it?

::facepalm::
Humans can and do, at times, act like animals. That's not proof of a fallen creation, it's proof that we're still animals.
If we were made in HIS image why are there girls?
well, according to the bible, because Adam wasn't into bestiality. :-p
"Fries said God looks just like him. But I don't think he does. I don't think God would be knock-kneed and have pimples on his bottom. Do you"?
"Yeah well. He hasn't got a fat arse and a meat-head either, like you Flipper".
"So are you saying God's got knobbly knees, Fries"?
"You saying he's got bad breathe, Flpper?
"Next you'll be saying he's cross-eyed."
"And you'll be saying he can waggle his ears."
Animals do talk with each other. It's not our fault we don't understand them.
As far as having jobs, over and above seeing eye dogs, what about horses and mules, whom we employ to help us carry heavy objects from one place to another? What about falcons and dogs to help us hunt? What about the countless animals we employ for the purposes of entertainment? (i.e., circuses, movies, etc?)
If man is not an animal, why can we research new treatments using mice? Why can we do transplants from animals to humans (with the usual difficulty with transplants, of course)? Why do we share the same DNA, physiology and life processes as other animals? Why can I classify myself as a mammal?
If god made us and wanted us to be different from animals, then why did he make us a fucking animal? That's all we are, a bit smart maybe, but hell, there's a LOT of smart animals out there. Our intelligence lies mostly in how general it is. Some animals have much more specific knowledge/skills. There are a lot of animals that share things we have like self-awareness, they grieve lost family/group members, they can make and use tools, they can use symbolic language to communicate -- with humans no less.
Go to your local library and pick up some books about animal intelligence. Read those with an open mind, then come back and tell me you can't at least understand why people think humans are animals even if you still won't accept it yourself.
It's just a classification system you twerp. Biologically, man is an animal. He's not a plant, or a fungus, or a rock, or a bacterium, but he is an animal. Further, he's a mammalian animal. He can move about to forage and hunt etc, his anatomy resembles that of other animals. Biologists can explain it better than I, or read a book.
You might have your own classification system relating to religious matters and souls etc. which is nothing to do with a scientific view. Good luck to you. But don't denigrate a system of which you are ignorant.
Yes. Humans and animals are not the same. Humans, in my opinion, are lesser.
I'd like to take this opportunity to formally apologise to the animal kingdom for the asswipe assumption that we are better than you, and that this cuntass here seems to think he knows everything. I am really, really sorry. I'd like to sometimes think of myself as not being human, because....Humans suck.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
