Curious: Are there any Christians out there today (or anyone else for that matter) who think Humans are not Animals?

I've seen it here and there that some people (usually religious) don't want to believe that human are animals.
Which is crazy to me because what else are we?! lol

The question is of the flesh. I don't believe I'm my flesh but that there's some eternal spirit that resides inside.

I think most people have accepted that we are animals. I think the people who resist that believe that we are separated due to the existence of a soul. Such individuals tend to believe animals do not have souls. At least it's something I've heard one of them say before
@ViciDraco

I think most people do as well. I think the only way not to believe that is to be ignorant. Not in a derogatory sense but in the true meaning of the word.
As for believing animals don't have souls, how do they account for the documentary All Dogs Go to Heaven?

Right? How would heaven be heaven without or best friends?
Well i'm actually glad to see that there's not much engagement with this post.

Love to see science education swamping misinformation ✌

of course we are animals, we just developed faster and better, obvious apes are cousins, and we share some genes with other mammals.
@idontcareok

Well definitely not better lol.
I suppose you could say "faster" in terms of how our social structure has allowed us to make large impacts upon our environment.

@idontcareok but we share 50% dna with bananas
@Ferise1

Well we share about 50% coding DNA with Bananas relating to fundamental things like cellular metabolism and makeup.
We share something closer to 1% of our entire genome with Bananas.

So yeah, not very closely related

lol didn't pass high school biology, bud? 😘

Is there any point in actually trying to discuss this point with you?
Cuz i'm here for it if so. You just don't strike me as a thoughtful person so i don't typically waste my time on you
