If baby's come from an egg inside the womb doesn't that make us a reptile. We can stand extremely hot temperatures. Some guys even walk on hot coal. Or what if were freakish things that are a cross between reptiles and mammals. Am I a freak are you a freak are we all freaks!?

We are mammals.
We are warm-blooded (produce our own heat) so there is no need to bask in the sun first thing in the day to get enough energy to move. This also means we can survive in the cold (no reptiles in the colder areas of the globe)
We give birth. The human eggs you refer to are egg CELLS. They're named egg cells simply as a name (to help remember what their purpose is) they're not like little shelled things inside a woman. The reptile/bird eggs have a protective layer (shell), either hard or leathery. the "babies" grow inside the egg, but this is outside the female's body. We grow our young inside a female's womb. She doesn't lay eggs then incubate them until they hatch.
Ever wonder why we use the word "mammal" and mammal females have "mammary" glands (breasts)??

Chickens are made from an internally generated egg - but we're not birds either. Birds and reptiles wrap their eggs in calcium and lay them, the young develop inside the egg.
Mammals give birth to live young that were attatched to the womb until just before the birth. We have fur, they don't. We express milk, they don't. We are warm blooded. Reptiles aren't.
But the big difference is in our nucleated blood cells, which id how we can catch rabies and they can't.

wow I see you slept through all your biology classes. Not everything born from an egg is a reptile anyway - birds are not counted as reptiles and besides there are mammals (note spelling) that lay eggs - although that is rare. We are mammals as we are hot-blooded - which is one of the criteria for mammals (reptiles are cold-bloodied). You are not so much a freak as poorly educated

Due to the fact that human beings are warm-blooded, give birth to live young, and are biologically designed to feed their young with MAMMary glands, they are classified as MAMMals. Not to mention all the hair. Reptiles do not grow hair.
The fact that the majority of females in the United States choose to waste their mammary glands abilities in no way changes the fact that human beings are mammals.

Reptiles lay eggs. Mammals give birth to live young.

No we are mammals. The eggs woman have are nothing like the eggs a reptile lays.

Yes, we are mammals.
Mammals give birth to LIVE young. We don't give birth to an egg, which is what a reptile does.
Mammals nurse their young. Our bodies do make milk for our young. Unfortunately, not all mothers are willing to give it to their human babies and have the weird idea that the milk of another species is better!

Oh dear. Mammals nurse their young by expressing milk from an external titty.Do humans do that? Yes we do. Baby milk doesn't normally come as a powder in a can. Does this explain it to you sweetie?
