We have DNA that acts just like all other DNA
We are warm-blooded
We have hair
We die
We are born
We produce milk to feed our young
We consume food to live
We grow our babies in placentas
We get similar diseases to other animals
We have the same body basic plan as all other animals
Schraf, I think your categories are too restricted to mammals.
added: I'm following Lynn Margulis' definition of animals, which is developed from a blastula embryo. I guess Sonnikke does not believe that we all were blastula...

Part of the confusion is what is meant by "animal". The term is sometimes used as an insult, to suggest nasty behavor. Also, "animal", when contrasted with "human" roughly means "nonsentient".
That's one misguided insult... Do animals do bad things? Yes, they kill, poison, dominate each other, cheat, parasitize, copulate in public etc. but don't they also defend their young, trying relentlessly, cooperate, wait in patience, comminucate in various ways, console each other?
Maybe it's the animals who would object being deingrated by humans. I don't see human behaviour, either modern or archaic as morally superior to animals. Don't we kill each other, cheat, torture, propagandize?

FYI the first guy which says that humans are primates was a Swedish creationist by the name of Carolus Linnaeus.
yes, I think evos agree on that. Some creationists also. Ask Michael Behe.

I wonder if the footnotes are also the Word of God...

A question for you in closing, and this is actually for all evo's...I've always wanted to know what you will say that day, when you stand before Christ at the judgement seat, and you realize that you were wrong, but now it's too late. What will you say?
Exclude me from your question. My belief is that Christ is not the judge in the afterlife, Almighty God is. And He accepts no substitutes for him, not even Jesus.
Should my acceptance for evolution in this life proved to be wrong, then I can't be responsible for it, because if God decides that the world He made is a grand trick to His creations, then we've been worshipping a deceitful God. I only follow what evidence He had put in nature. And His evidence leads to evolution, not special creationism.
