Are humans a part of the animal kingdom or are we devine beings above animals since we can talk?

Answer 1

Everything is part of All That Is and therefore Divine...

People, animals, trees, plants, water, rocks etc, etc

Answer 2

We are definitely part of the animal kingdom. And other animals also communicate with each other. That is not at all exclusive to humans.

Answer 3

For purposes of Scientific Classification we are Homosapiens (that is suppose to be two words with the first always capitalized, but YA **** out the first four letters which is the genus even when combined with sapiens, the species. Very PC!)

We are not divine but we have dominion over the animals by God's grace, not because we can talk.

Answer 4

Humans are part of the animal kingdom. Many animals can communicate with each other. It's hubris to assume that our particular gift to do it so well is the only measure of divinity.

Answer 5

We are animals who talk :) Anyway..


Who claims strongly that humans are above animals is only religions.. They dont accept Darvine's Theory..

Sure we are very different, we can bulit, we can think, we can get dressed and whole the rest.. But we still belong to Animal Kingdom. We cannot deny our nature just because we can think and because we can rule everything on Earth.

And dont forget..

We can Kill
We can Eat
We can Sleep
We can Die (living a specific period)

Exactly like animals...

Answer 6

We are still part of the Animal Kingdom and by the way animals talk too.

Look at monkeys and dolphins and whales.

Even ants have their own form of communication.

Answer 7

Devine??? Hardly. We are definitely animals though. Mammals in fact. Perhaps a bit smarter than most others though in some cases I'm not sure of that.

Answer 8

No. We are animals too.

Talking is just a form of communictaion. Parrots can talk, cant they? Doe that mean they arent animals?

We evolved from animals. We are mammals (a type of animal). We are primates (a type of mammal). We act like animals.

Take a look at this site for more proof:

Answer 9

As far as I know, most animals do 'talk'.
They understand their language; we understand ours!
Pretty simple.

Let's also face it, according to the book, TWO BIRDS ... ONE STONE, by Denis Towers, all animals were able to talk to us prior to the Fall or transgression of Adam anyway!
You may recall, the snake, who cannot even vocalize now, originally spoke to Eve and 'successfully' tempted her into opposing God.
Since that time, per this book, the snake has been made the precise opposite to Man in everything, all in representation of that incident that separated man from God and created opposition in all things.
An absolute genius of a book this one.

Answer 10

. . . Since we can talk? I think you just answered your own question.

But in case you need a little more assurance please read Genesis 1:26 Then God said, "Let us make people in our image, to be like ourselves. They will be masters over all life the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, and all the livestock, wild animals, and small animals."

God Bless
