what makes a human being different than any other creature created?

Question

hint: its been said that the thing that makes an object unique is the same thing that defines it. such as a Vessel is is a vessel because it holds something in it. if you put a hole at the bottom it would no longer be a vessel.

Answer 1

Humans are not animals because we now the difference between right and wrong, we have language, and we can think (animal have instinct)

Answer 2

We can drive a car or fly an airplane,write a book,cook and prepare meals,play violins and guitars and make movies. Other animals can't.
You got it wrong about the part that creatures here were created. All animals or creatures evolved form only one single celled organism in the primordial soup.
You need to look into a book on Evolution or visit some kind of natural history museum. How come the Bible doesn't mention dinosaurs or even Buffalo in the story of the Noahs Ark ?
Some other animals have free will,emotions and consciousness too,animals grieve and animals can walk too;Penguins,Ostrich,Chickens,Chimps.

Answer 3

I used to offer the typical Christian response, "the image of God," but lately I've been rethinking what this means. Typically we describe people's being made in the image of God as abilities such as: (1) the ability to distinguish right from wrong, (2) the ability to relate to God in a personal manner, (3) managing the earth, etc. However, a sharp student once responded, "What about angels? Don't they also recognize right from wrong, relate to God in a personal manner, and exercise some authority over lesser creation? I was then challenged either to narrow the typical understanding of bearing the "image of God" to something like "we have a relationship with God based on grace" or to admit that angels also are made in the image of God (even though there is no explicit reference to them doing so in the Bible).

Thanks for letting me ramble. Good question.

Answer 4

The only difference god had created us as compared to other creatures is a unique brain that is imaginative, creative, with brain we communicate with the others, develop the nation in whatever fields, we are the master of the earth.

Answer 5

who knows or gives a dang? but if you really want to know, we actually have the ability to think and communicate with other people of the same species and observe other species, we also have the opposable thumb, we're just better adapted creatures, but other creatures may never adapt to how much we have because of certain limitations such as elephants can never be as small as us.



man screw that soul crap. I mean I believe in spirits and ghosts and hauntings but thats got nothing to do with us biologically

Answer 6

I'm not sure what you're hinting at, but the main thing is that we have direct access to our consciousness.

We can directly change most of our thinking and actions if we want to.

Answer 7

We seem to enjoy inflicting suffering on each other. Not like a cat playing with a mouse as an instinctual response. We really seem to enjoy inflicting death and misery for the response of our victims.

Answer 8

We are the top of the food chain. We can reason. We have ideas, spirit, and a soul. We rule, and mostly we are created in the image of God.

Answer 9

We were given dominion over the animals and over the geologic earth. We are unique among the other living beings of this planet in that we fell from grace and can be redeemed.

The earth will be restored, but not all men will be.

Eccl 3:21
Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth?
KJV

Answer 10

Humans are animals. What sets us apart is a better capability for thinking of abstract concepts.
