we are all part of the animal world, if you refuse to being one, unsa man ka? Plant?...But I did not call anybody an animal...if ever I did, it was not in the light that your thinking...lahi man gud ka trademark...combative ra ka kaajo...ajo ka kusion...
We find this difference explained in the record provided by the Creator of man and the animals. In Genesis One we see that the fish, the birds, the creeping things, the cattles and the beasts of the fields, and the beasts of the earth were all created " after their kinds". But when God created man, He created him "after His own image". we often have similar DNA to the animals, similar body parts, similar functions, similar consciousness, similar blood, but the comparison disappears when man's eternal spirit is considered. The animals have nothing like this. Something about man adequately reflects God's nature in a way that animals don't have. God created man with the wonderful ability to reason and comprehend abstract thoughts. He alone can speak in language which communicates his inner yearnings. Most importantly man can truly love and respond to love, most particularly the love of God. He can recognize his own sinfulness, repent of it, and appreciate God's gracious solution to his sin problem. Animals, regardless of their cranial capacity, know nothing of this. NO, MAN IS NOT A HIGHER ANIMAL. MAN IS NOT AN ANIMAL. HE IS THE VERY IMAGE OF GOD, AND NOTHING LESS. ( John D. Morris}
