Are Humans Animals?
Are Animals Different From People?
The Bible clearly distinguishes between man and beast—something evolution does not do. Even on the purely biological plane, there is a wide, unbridgeable chasm between man and beast.
Do Chimps Have Rights?
As Christians, we should already know that chimps deserve ethical treatment because Proverbs 12:10 tells us that “a righteous man regards the life of his animal
.” But we must be very clear that only human beings, not chimpanzees, are made in the image of God.
Why Did God Make Apes Look So Much Like People?
Since the all-knowing God knew evolution would deceive many people, why did He create creatures like apes, which evolutionists would use to support their dogma? If God had not created apes, however, evolutionists would just find another “common ancestor.” The problem is not the evidence, but sinful man’s faulty interpretation.
People on Display in the Zoo
As a visible way to buttress evolutionary claims, the London Zoo has three men and five women displayed next to (but separated by a fence from) their “primate relatives.” When cultures accept the belief that man is but another animal and just another primate, the consequences will be far greater than what might appear in a zoo.
