Let me see if I can follow the theological logic here (sorry, I'm not very good at theology, being devoutly agnostic)...
1. Humans not being animals is evidence that we are the product of the Designer, not evolution.
2. But the only unique evidence cited so far indicating that humans are NOT animals is the Word of Ecclesiastes that humans without God are merely animals.
3. Is not the assumption of a God or Designer required in step 2?
4. Therefore the presumed existence of God is used as "proof" of the existence of that God... also known as begging the question.
Is this actually allowed in theological arguments?

Incorrect, you must've missed some posts.
other evidence included:
[snippity list]
You must have missed the reponses to your list which point out that those same qualities exist to one degree or another in many other animals besides humans.
And that many humans do not possess all those qualities... are they animals and not human by your definition?
