Humans are made in the image of God, not animals. This (evolution) is the way of perverting mankind by first perverting the image that humans have of themselves. It also opens people up to spirit possession. The demon spirits just love animal worship, just look at history.
Evolution isn't science. As supersport points out, it just isn't. Microevolution is but there is no valid scientific reason to call humans animals. It is pure hocus pocus propaganda that the spirits use so they can posess humans.

There is no such thing as micro-evolution, there is only evolution.
But of course, when you refer to Superstupid as a source of credible information, you just signed your own stupidity verdict.
I've read several threads over at CARM. Am worships stuporsport so avidly, I'm pretty sure she's breaking the 1st Commandment. Either that, or she's stuporsport with a fake account. (It wouldn't be the first time he's done that to show support for himself).
I'll dig out a chart of mammalian anatomy. You go dig out a chart of divine anatomy, and we'll compare each to the human body.
What, you don't have any physical descriptions of your god? No way to verify your claim or discount the obvious close relationships shown in mine?
'Bye, thanks for playing.
"...there is no valid scientific reason to call humans animals"
Your mom was an animal in bed last night.
I'm sorry, I... I just...
Nevermind.
"It also opens people up to spirit possession. The demon spirits just love animal worship, just look at history."
Well, Am, looking at religions with animal worship the only thing close to your christian form of demonic possession is a shaman going into a trance and becoming - for a brief time - his god. Of course, if you talk to these guys it is during their time and choosing and the god/demon/whatever you call it leaves them... oh, and sometimes hallucinogenic substances are involved, but let's ignore that just for this argument.
Why has God got a tailbone, an appendix, and 10 toes that are totally useless, then?
Does God have a digestive tract? I must imagine He doesn't need energy to do anything, but ... ???
“If the creator had indeed lavished his best
design on the creature he shaped in his
own image, creationists would surely have
to conclude that God is really a squid”

"but there is no valid scientific reason to call humans animals"
Except for the fact that physiologically we're chordates, amniotes, mammals, primates, and great apes.
Evolution isn't science. As supersport points out, it just isn't.
That's probably the best and most scientific argument Supersport has ever made, actually.
Okay, now put a ton of those "Microevolution" steps and what do you get? Real evolution.
Not hard to get, honestly.
If Scientology is ostensibly based on science, I'm actually glad they say that evolution isn't.
Once again, though, please refer to a dictionary.
Hey, did you know that chimpanzee mothers feed their babies very much like human mothers? [No, twit, not with bottles.]
"Evolution isn't science. As supersport points out, it just isn't."
Well, thank you for the insight! Your evidence of evolution not being science is so concrete and obvious that I must convert today. /sarcasm
HUMANS ARE ANIMALS - geez, how many times does such a simple question have to be explained?
Let's try this:
Are humans living things?
Yes
Are humans plants?
No
Are humans single - celled organisms?
No
Are humans protists?
No
Are humans fungi?
No
Therefore, HUMANS ARE ANIMALS. It's that simple
"This (evolution) is the way of perverting mankind by first perverting the image that humans have of themselves."
You want to talk about self-image and the image of humanity as a whole?
We're not the ones saying humans are all born stained with sin, and no matter how good they are, it won't change anything.
We're not the ones abusing our children by teaching them that they are worthless and evil from the day they are born.
We're not the ones who place zero value on any human being who doesn't believe the exact same version of the fairytale that we do.
We're not the ones who say that a few replicating cells are worth more than the life of the mother who carries them.
We're not the ones saying you can be the most evil SOB in the world and never be punished so long as you accept the carpenter god on your deathbed.
We're not the ones who are teaching that we have no responsibility to each other or to other living things on the planet because we're all going to be raptured any minute now and we're all going to heaven and you're not neener neener neener.
That would be the creationists.
I think humans have the ability be a whole lot better than that.
We are born, we grow, we eat, we produce waste, we reproduce, we die.
I say that's as animal as you can get.
EDIT: Lilith, great comment.
Damn religion, talk about inflating peoples egos by making them think they're better than other races, like they are the special race that was created in god's image.
Note: Having a better evolved brain doesn't make you a better species than say like lions, sharks or monkeys. Jackass.
"Humans are made in the image of God, not animals"
Then God is an ape. As we humans (Homo Sapiens ) share at least 98% of our DNA with chimpanzees (Pan Troglodytes ).
The discovery by messrs. Watson & Crick, and the subsequent research as a result of such, must've been a major pisser for you Creationist fundies, eh Am(not)?
And those gaps just keep being filled...!
Anyone who listens to supersport deserves to be deluded and laughed at.
Humans and chimpansees are more alike on DNA level, than chimpansees and orangutans.
Micro-evolution + time = macro-evolution.
It's like saying driving 2 miles is ok, but driving 356 miles is not possible. It's just more of the same, stupid.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
