Physically, man fits the general definition of a mammal.
* Because we are mammals.
However, one
evolutionist stated: "No more tragic mistake could be made than to
consider man 'merely an animal.' Man is unique; he differs from all
other animals in many properties, such as speech, tradition, culture,
and an enormously extended period of growth and parental care."
* That doesn't change the fact that we are still mammals. And just who is
this evolutionist? Another huckster from 40 or 50 years ago the Watchtower
quoted?
What sets man apart from all other creatures on earth is his brain.
* He's still a mammal.
The information stored in some 100 billion neurons of the human brain
would fill about 20 million volumes! The power of abstract thought and
of speech sets man far apart from any animal, and the ability to
record accumulating knowledge is one of man's most remarkable
characteristics.
* And yet man DIES and decomposes just like all the other mammals on the
earth.
Use of this knowledge has enabled him to surpass all
other living kinds on earth-even to the point of going to the moon and
back. Truly, as one scientist said, man's brain "is different and
immeasurably more complicated than anything else in the known
universe."
* Which scientist? This sounds exactly like Jehovah's Witness blather from
their non-peer reviewed magazines and books.
Another feature that makes the gulf between man and animal the
greatest one of all is man's moral and spiritual values, which stem
from such qualities as love, justice, wisdom, power, mercy. This is
alluded to in Genesis when it says that man is made 'in the image and
likeness of God.' And it is the gulf between man and animal that is
the greatest chasm of all.-Genesis 1:26.
* LOL!!! Yep,... this *IS* from the Watchtower magazines! :-)
Thus, vast differences exist between the major divisions of life.
Many new structures, programmed instincts and qualities separate them.
Is it reasonable to think they could have originated by means of
undirected chance happenings?
* Of course it's reasonable....
As we have seen, the fossil evidence
does not support that view.
* You mean as the Jehovah's Witnesses have deluded themselves to see.....
No fossils can be found to bridge the
gaps. As Hoyle and Wickramasinghe say: "Intermediate forms are missing
from the fossil record. Now we see why, essentially because there were
no intermediate forms." For those whose ears are open to hear, the
fossil record is saying: "Special creation."

"I see only with deep regret that God punishes so many of His children for
their
numerous stupidities, for which only He Himself can be held responsible;
in my opinion, only His nonexistence could excuse Him."
