Are human beings animals?
    #18903499 - 09/28/13 04:53 PM (10 years, 4 months ago)

Alright, so I'll stay neutral making this thread because I already have a solid position on the matter.

I'm arguing with my dear muslim friend, we are talking science and evolution and he would bet his life that humans are not animals and that we clearly different from animals and that they are here to serve us.

So in order to find an answer, I've decided to post a poll on the matter. Now, you might find the answer easy and this thread stupid, but I'm trying to prove a point against religion..
Are humans animals?

We're animals. We're the greatest, most intellectually advanced animals on this planet, on this solar system, in a multi-million light-year radius even. But without our intellect, we'd be nothing.

You can't/shouldn't expect to sway someone about religion, ever, IMO, but I love a good debate.

Look at primates :shrug:

Well, it's obvious what your position is based on your post lol.
And plus, of course you're going to get more responses being that humans are animals when you ask a drug forum.
Just sayin'.

'Animal' is just our classification of a certain type of existence, and by our own definition we fall into that category. Animal is not an universal category, and it contains such amazingly varied array of creatures, we definitely share most of our characteristics with them.

That's the thing, evidence probably won't be found.
It's just a matter of belief.

The only evidence I can think of is the fact that humans are so much farther "evolved" than any other animal, thus we might be more than an animal.  :shrug:

tell your friend about DNA, and tell him that we're all animals, with an innate Anima or "primal sense", and that we all derive our existence from the same energy that makes up all of the universe. then tell him about God. tell him, you might as well learn in order of relevance, if you're gonna question even the basics.

 (class Mammalia /məˈmeɪli.ə/) are a clade of endothermic amniotes. Among the features that distinguish them from the other amniotes, the reptiles and the birds, are hair, threemiddle ear bones, mammary glands in females, and a neocortex (a region of the brain). The mammalian brain regulates body temperature and the circulatory system, including the four-chambered heart. The mammals include the largest animals on the planet, the rorqual whales, as well as some of the most intelligent, such as elephants, some primates and some cetaceans. The basic body type is a four-legged land-borne animal, but some mammals are adapted for life at sea, in the air, in the trees, or on two legs. The largest group of mammals, the placentals, have aplacenta which feeds the offspring during pregnancy. Mammals range in size from the 30–40 mm (1.2–1.6 in) bumblebee bat to the 33-meter (108 ft) blue whale.

then this is where the wall is. it's there at the point of "i am not gonna surrender the thoughts on my (frankly pathetic) beliefs."

if his thoughts can't change, well... i think we all know what's gonna happen. he won't change, either.

His argument is all wrong. He's trying to argue we aren't something that we are specified by a man made class. Either way he's wrong, I know what he's saying though

Don't waste your time arguing with religious nuts over obvious matters of simple fact.

Humans are animals, no question or debate about it.

The definition of an animal is a eukaryotic, multicellular organism in the kingdom Animalia or Metazoa. There is no ambiguity whatsoever about whether or not humans fit this definition. They do.

We are animals. This is grade school biology.

But if he is arguing from a religious standpoint, and not a scientific standpoint, then you wont change his mind.

People who use religion to base their beliefs are hard to persuade, despite all the evidence you can show them.
