Spend more time researching chimps instead of reading the Bible do ya. Other species are not made in God's image because they cannot understand the things of God. We are made in His image which makes us better than the common animal.

It's not about bigger or better brains, soul that separates us from the other animals or any nonsense, and by the way all living creatures have souls that separate from the body after death.
The reason we are different is because God Himself said it in the Bible, like He has dominion over the universe, we are created in his image(perfect) and our original job is to have dominion over the earth and all that's in it, wether it be a domistic or wild animal, birds, mamals, bugs, etc. We used to have better brains bit not anymore. What separates us from animals is our conciouns, we are better able to judge wrong from right in all levels than the animals can. God also breathed the breath of life into our nostrils and did not with the animals. When our ancestors let satan in is when our perfect image had two sides to it; the good and the bad.
And those Christians who believe in these nonsense that you spit are professing christians not true Christians they don't even know what they believe or want to believe simply because they don't study and you can't use these weaklinks to try to back up your facts, try challenging real ones for a change!
No human created not even you is in any way related to any primates or such if we were, one group would not exist either the primates or us would have to go. Talk about experiments all you want but what are science and archeology proving today? The very theory of evolutions is quickly and steadily getting ruled out because it never existed in the first place!
The naked truth is we most Chrisitians study evolution in school because it it is implimented by the educational system as another way to rule out the existance of God and we take the course just to get on with our lives and get to where is needed fo our careers that doesn't mean that we actually believe it, i personally dropped the course similar since it wasn't worth my time to study when i knew the facts.
Instead of wasting time getting the world's approval which won't benefit you in the long run how about opening a Bible and feed on some "soul food?" You don't have to be a Chrisitian to read it and you'll have a good start since you think you have an idea of what most Chrisitian fundamentals are so read up and God bless!

situation inclusive of your theory-approximately evolution is that once issues evolve to larger point then there should not be any apes or monkeys latest today. Why are they nevertheless here? So why hasn't the dolphin been waiting to talk with guy? Hasn't it been around as long as guy has. yet to on the present time it truly isn't any longer able to place across any intelligibly with guy or any progression of any sort interior its species. So its ok which you suspect which you're an animal in the utmost order of the evolution chain. yet for me i've got faith that i replaced into created in clone of my author and that contraptions me different than for you (animal kingdom) with a soul and ethical experience that shows love extremely of aggressive habit. So save a lot of razors with you in straight forward terms in case you slip decrease back and de-evolve decrease back to you foundation's.

I imagine you will get slammed on this one by the very folk you are concerned about. My first thought was that humans, in general, like to think they are special and the world revolves and exists just for them. So all our mythology, religion and even, to some degree, science support this egocenric thought process. Only a couple of hundred years ago suggesting that the sun did not revolve around our earth was near heresy. And the world was flat. If you saw the article on Yahoo! News two days ago about the opening of the Creation Museum (in Kentucky, I think), it makes you wonder about humanity. The folk that back this museum not only believe only today's humans have a soul, but that fossil evidence of our long prehistoric past does not exist--the earth being only a few thousand years old.
The problem is, you think. Unfortunately many do not.

ok....*chuckles* this is cute. See, what seperates us humans from the other animals is our ability to decipher right from wrong. I dont care how you try to explain it, Chimps nor any other animal can do that. The Alpha is the alpha because it is the strongest and it's recognized exactly because of that. They use that strength to settle the disputes. As for souls..personally, I think all creatures have them and th at their life should be repsected.. I just simply think that we are above animals because we know and recognize what is right and what is wrong both morally and legally. And no..they are not made in God's image. God stated that he made man in his own image. Animals were to kill for food. So no...their dog Sparky looks nothing like God.

Okay, I'll give you a different answer. We do agree that God gave man the higher intelligence and for that reason also gave us dominion over all other things. All things on the earth are for the benefit of man to be used with wisdom and prudence, not to be wasted or abused.
Second, other animals do have souls. They're spirit beings with mortal bodies just as we are. They die and their spirits go on, just as ours do. We are told that how we treat animals will be part of our judgment, that the very animals will be able to testify for us or against us according to how we treat them. Will there be animals in heaven? I believe there will be.

I completely agree. Unfortunately, the notion that we are innately superior to other animals because we have a soul is very prevalent. This oftentimes is used to justify cruelty to animals. I highly doubt that a soul exists because I've never seen any good evidence to convince me yet. Anyone that has seen a dolphin or orangutan communicate with humans can not honestly say that they are not intelligent. It's simply pride and arrogance that makes people believe such ideas.

In nature every animal kills the weak and infirm. This is common throughout the animal kingdom. Interesting that we as humans do not do the same. Actually, it is rather taboo to even think about killing old, infirm, and the disabled. Granted within the animal kingdom there is not such thing as abortion either. I guess it is rather hard for the animal kingdom to differentiate between what is animal and what is not. Did you know that teaching that wo\mankind was in the animal kingdom was not popularly taught in school until the Skopes Monkey Trials and the 1960s

Why can't people like you accept that not everyone is going to have the same viewpoints as everyone else. If that's what you want to believe, then fine. Go right ahead. But stop searching for reasons to nag on other people and their beliefs. It's not effecting your life so just live and let live. Jeeze, why is it that the people who claim that they are atheist or don't claim any particular denomination always want to know everything about all the religions they "don't want to have anything to do with"?

If we are just a part of the primate family, why aren't there any animals training us? And if our so-called ancestors didn't survive, why did we, if we are no different?
Settling disputes doesn't make you either moral or ethical. It just means you don't want to fight.
Why do so many of our "family members" fear us?
Why didn't apes evolve with us, if we evolved from them?
