Evolutionists claim that man is just a clever animal. Just as cheetahs have specialized in speed, so humans have specialized in intelligence. But man’s ability to reason sets him apart from the animals. Humans are prone to logical fallacies and cognitive biases, which is exactly what we would expect if we were designed by a God who hates rational thinking. If evolution were true, our minds would work like supercomputers, allowing us to make cold, calculating decisions.
Man’s ability to experience emotion is also unique.

If unthinking, unfeeling animals want to kill each other, why shouldn’t humans be entertained by it? Sports like dog fighting and cock fighting flourished in the days before evolutionary thinking became widespread. Traditionally, man has always recognized his superiority over animals and held human life sacred except when he hasn’t. The ancient Romans, for example, found entertainment in watching people fight each other to death in an arena. But the fact that in the past people have always thought they were different from animals and held human life sacred except when they haven’t proves that man is above the animals.
If humans are animals, why don’t they behave like animals? Name one species that lives in societies, builds homes and raises its young till they old enough to take care of themselves.
Man’s bodily functions do not pull him down to the level of an animal. If every single kind of animal was endowed with every single bodily function humans have, maybe then we could say that man is an animal. But this is not the case. Rats, for instance, can’t vomit or burp. If vomiting were a requirement for being an animal, then rats wouldn’t be animals. Kangaroos can’t fart. Reptiles and birds can’t sweat. And no animal has the human ability to cry.
The most convincing evidence that man is most certainly not an animal comes, of course, from the Bible. God created fish and birds on the fifth day (Gen 1:20-23). He created land animals on the six day (Gen 1:24-25). But He created man in His own image, from dust (Gen 2:7), to rule over all the animals (Gen 1:26-28). There is no room for evolution here. Man was created one day after sea animals and on the same day as land animals. There was no time for evolution to have occurred. Man did not evolve from monkeys; he was specially created from dust in his current form. And because he is made in God’s image and has authority over all animals, he is clearly superior to animals.
The dangers of rejecting the Biblical position are all too clear. Ever since evolution was invented 150 years ago, we have seen generations brainwashed since childhood into believing they are monkeys. As a result, people are behaving like animals. The sanctity of human life has been devalued and abortion is acceptable. Because animals are viewed as our equals, blood sports have been banned in many parts of the world, scientific experiments on animals are frowned on, and vegetarianism and veganism are viewed as acceptable practices.
But if we held to the Biblical view that we came from dirt, not monkeys, we would behave accordingly. We would look down on animals, and human life would be valued.
