Are humans related to other animals?

[wblastyn]

It's still amuses me Christians want to believe that their great great grandfathers swung from branch to branch going "hoo hoo haa haa eeeee!" More amusing still when they see that in their kids! *LOL

No one here "wants" to believe we are related to apes, we just are, it has nothing to do ith what we want or don't want.

What amuses me is your ignorance.

Why give apes such a bad rap. They are God's creatures afterall aren't they? Besides they have the capacity for language, art, emotion, symbol recognition and can undersand some abstract concepts.

Exactly, who cares if we're related to animals. I think people have the idea that they're superior to animals because we're in the image of God (spiritually) and were given dominion over them, but we're still animals.

• Genesis, 1:26
And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness:
and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

Why do you say "people have the idea that there superior to animals"? Are you saying were not?

We are God's stewards, given our abilities to serve Him, each other, and the rest of Creation.

He who exalts himself shall be humbled, and he who humbles himself shall be exalted. Matt 23:12

Although we are "in the image of God" which means we represent God as His stewards (as fragmentofdreams said above) we are still animals.

When I say "superior" I mean they think we are above animals as in "we aren't animals we're something above them." I mean kings have had dominion over the people but they are still human.
