[This was an OP in a discussion written in a very large font.]

That's it we are not animals!

Animals do not care about spiritual matters and monkeys still exist today! And we have not Evolved into anything else!

What are the new fossils in evolution to say we came from animals? I want to see them!

We are not animals! No way Freddie, we are made in God's image, in such a special way! Why would you even THINK we are animals??? God made us higher than the animals and we rule these creatures since the beginning of time! We are the Masters, not the animals!!

Our bodies have all the compositions of the Dust of this earth! When we die we go back into the Dust!

But our souls go elsewhere!!!!!!! That's another topic

Some gorillas have been taught sign language, and it has then been apparent that they have some sense of spirituality, and thoughts about death and what happens then. We are not nearly as unique as we think.

We have not evolved into anything else, no. Not yet, that is. In the future we will either become extinct, destroy the Earth or evolve into something less dangerous to the Earth.

There are no new fossils, silly. Fossils are all incredibly old and we have known about the fossil record for a couple of hundred years, so not even the information is new.

If we are made in God's image, does God have both male and female parts? Is he like the original human, from Africa, or has his skin the tone of all kinds of different humans?

We are very similar to animals; we function basically the same, we die and rot like other animals, and some animals use us as a food source, like we do with other animals.

Maggots rule us, stupid. We do not "go back into the Dust", we ROT and are eaten by tiny animals. You might pound the skeleton to something like dust, but it doesn’t have the same chemical components as dust.

There is no evidence of a soul.

Why would you even THINK we are animals???

Even if God created you out of clay sometime after the Sumerian civilization started, you're still an animal. And your god apparently deemed it necessary to not only give you animal cells but he even specifically decided you'd be a mammal by giving you hair, nipples, live birth, and mammalian bone structure (including mammalian inner ears). What's more, he gave you opposable thumbs, a tail bone, hind leg dominance, and bone structure of apes. So, even if creationism is true, we're still apes. And wouldn't you know it? Creationist and (more importantly) scientist Linnaeus categorized us as apes. We're apes, we're placentals, we're mammals, we're tetrapods, we're chordates, we're deuterostomes, we're coelomates, we're animals. If we're not animals then what are we? Fungi?
