sorry but I think you may have been brain washed
humans have no characteristics with animal except that we both breath air except for the animals in the water.
i have never seen a human with a paw or a cloven hoof or snout or beak have you?
What about claws or talons no human I know has those characteristics, do you. Have seen no one with gills or fins either.
Humans are moral creatures, animals operate only on their instincts only.
we are more then the animals

"What about claws or talons no human I know has those characteristics, do you."
That follows along with evolutiom. Chimps don't have claws, they have fingernails and toenails. Gorillas don't have claws, they have fingernails and toenails. Practically no primates have claws, they have fingernails and toenails.
Sounds like we're a lot closer to them than to clawed animals.
1. So are apes humans? Cause they don't have paws, cloven hooves, snouts and/or beaks.
2. We have claws (Er... finger nails)
3. Apes also have morals
We are animals. We just have assholes like you who think they are better than animals cause we wear pants.
Oh, and there's also the fact that humans reproduce like animals, excrete waste like animals, consume nourishment like animals, in fact, if I didn't know any better, I'd say humans are animals! :D
Nope, nothin' in common with *any* other animal...

By the way, if you have housepets, I'm sure they think you're a bonehead, too.
Lemurs, monkeys and apes have nails, rather than claws. They also have what we would probably call hands (at least as laypeople) and other animals have opposable digits.
Humans can be classified as mammals due to having hair, being warm-blooded, giving live birth rather than laying eggs, and feeding our young milk (second grade science).
Humans act much more on instinct than they realize.
Other animals can have a sense of 'morals' (social standards they have to live up to or be ostracized from the group).
Our physiology is very similar to mice and rats, that's why we can study them and then be fairly sure the conclusions will hold up in a similar human study.
We are just as much animals as any other animal. By your logic cats aren't animals because none of them have fins or gills, frogs aren't animals because none of them have hooves, horses aren't animals because their hooves aren't 'cloven', monkeys and apes aren't animals because they don't have snouts. . . caterpillars, butterflies, moths, roaches, etc. aren't animals because they don't have any of those things! There are even some fish that must be birds because they have beak-like mouths! :O
"Humans are moral creatures, animals operate only on their instincts only."
Yep, instincts only. That's why you can't train dogs to do silly tricks like running obstacle courses.
And dogs certainly don't have morals, that's why mine is always trying to eat small children.
"Humans are moral creatures, animals operate only on their instincts only."
Clearly not a pet owner.
"i have never seen a human with a paw or a cloven hoof or snout or beak have you?"
I've never seen a Cheetah with spikes either. I guess Cheetahs and urchins are a different kingdom then?
"humans have no characteristics with animal except that we both breath air except for the animals in the water."
Animals in the water breathe air also. They just have to extract it from the water first. There are also mammals in the water that have to surface to breathe air.
Denying evidence doesn't make it go away. While in utero, human embryos do have gill slits. As for the other things, we evolved into creatures with bigger brains, an opposible thumbs thereby giving is the ability to create tools, so no need for claws.
Have you ever seen lioness chastise her cub for playing too rough? Or Elephants mourning the loss of one of their own? Dolphins assisting a female birth her calf, or comfort her if something goes wrong? That's that not instinct you, asswipe.
As for morals, you don't have them.
Sigh.
All life requires water, gas exchange (oxygen for animals, carbon dioxide for plants and certain forms of micro organisms), etc. This includes humans.
Paws = hands and feet. Hoofs = feet. Snout/beak = mouth and cheeks. In the case of the beak, it's also related to teeth... kind of like one large, external tooth.
Claws/talons = nails. Fins = evolutionary predecessor to limb. Gills = predecessor of lungs.
Animals display limited compassion, particularly species of ape. Dolphins and elephants are both incredibly compassionate animals. Chimps and bonobos display a surprisingly developed social conscience.
Kinderklein-
I agree with this. One time we didn't let my dog out in time and he pooped on the floor. You wouldn't believe how guilty he looked, and we weren't even mad at him. He just knew he wasn't supposed to do that, and he didn't even do it on purpose.
Humans are moral creatures, animals operate only on their instincts only.
Not inherently. Humans have the mental capacity for morality, but that, like all higher thought processes, must largely be instilled by upbringing at an early age - failure to do so produces what are known as feral children, and they act entirely like animals running on instinct. Fuck, I've even seen grown adults reduced to an animalistic state; typically less intelligent, uneducated ones getting incoherently violent on CCTV crime shows, but occasionally perfectly normal people succumbing to high emotion in situations like political protests.
EDIT: Animal instinct may, as remarked in earlier posts, include a certain amount of what we may call moral behaviour, but human-level morality largely depends on higher, conscious thought.
You fail biology forever.
Also, not all the animals that live in the water breathe water, some of them are mammals that breathe air.
The toenails on my baby toes are more like dog claws than like normal nails. My father had the same type of tonails on 8 out of 10 toes. We have breasts that produce milk like all mammals. the only difference is ours stay out there when we're not producing milk. Most animals have 5 toes on the front, one of my dogs has 5 on the back. Claws? Ever heard of Lobster Boy? Freak shows are a great place to see such things. There's also the werewolf family down in Mexico.
We're mammals, we wouldn't have gills or fins.

Thats another charectistic he missed - that all animals have!! They all have assholes!! Except it is only some humans - mostly ignorant fundies, that talk out of theirs!
Chimps have no characteristics with animal except that we both breath air except for the animals in the water.
i have never seen a chimp with a paw or a cloven hoof or snout or beak have you?
What about claws or talons no chimp I know has those characteristics, do you. Have seen no one with gills or fins either.
Fixed.
Humans are moral creatures, animals operate only on their instincts only.
we are more then the animals
I can think of a few animals that have hair like we do, have four limbs, like we do, have similar DNA to humans, have opposable thumbs, like humans, give birth to live young, like humans....
In other words, shut up.
Dear, hands and paws are related. oh, why don´t they use the only thing that separates us from animals?, THE INTELLIGENCE?
Most animals in water also breathe oxygen, dumbass.
I have never seen a cat with a cloven hoof, fins, gills, talons, snout or beak, either. I have of course seen cats with paws and claws. Each animal has its own characteristics, stupid, including us humans.
Most humans, at least in the western world, have a firmer grasp on the art of writing than you do. Does that mean that we are more "then" you?
we are more then the animals
Spill no blood. That is the law. Are we not men?
Kill no man. That is the law. Are we not men?"

So easy a caveman can figure it out.
Haven't you had a pet come to you and comfort you when you're feeling down? That's something social animals do, the way you would do the same for a friend (I hope, but you're a conservative, so I'm not holding my breath. Language is an instinct in humans- you instinctively imitate the sounds around you and learn English, Spanish, Chinese, Portuguese, or Hindi equally well.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
