Origins TheologyForum for the discussion of Creation Science (Young/Old) vs Theistic Evolution. Discussion of Atheistic Evolution should be taken to the Discussion and Debate forums.
I thought maybe I was just hallucinating because I'm overdue for lunch and haven't slept well lately.
But alas, someone else on this forum doesn't understand what he is trying to say either.
Therefore, it's not just me.
Don't feel bad. MOST people here can't understand juvie. But we love him anyway.

My guess is that peace4ever tried asking it as a leading question that would eventually go down the path of saying evolution says humans are animals -> animals are savage -> "the world" says humans are only animals and thus we shouldn't care about morality -> evolution promotes atheistic immorality.
Or something like that anyway. Anyway, that being said I don't really understand your post.
My point is: If a simple question is asked: Is human animal?
The answer SHOULD be no, regardless the biological consideration.
He understood perfectly. He just does not want to get into the debate. He is a paleontologist. I am criticizing that study.
Your criticism doesn't make any sense. Palaeontology is "only" a morphological science? Even if that were true (which it obviously is not), how is that a criticism?

Paleontology "is driven" by morphological study. Why is it wrong? Because it goes backward.
If so, why people study it? Because there is no other way to do it. However, this does not make this study right.
So, if one tried to use paleontology to argue origin problems, it is backward, inefficient, and it is a very wrong tool to get a conclusion.

Again, that didn't make any sense. Your argument is one long non-sequitur. Perhaps you could try explaining yourself using examples.

Is it our bodies that make us children of God, or our immortal soul?
What makes us children of God is that he created us in his image to be his children.
And to respond to the OP: yes, we are animals, and yes, we are primates (which I believe is the correct technical term, rather than "ape")

Jesus said to them, "Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life within you....For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink..."
As a result of this, many (of) his disciples returned to their former way of life and no longer accompanied him...
John, Ch. 6
It's not just science that classifies us as animals. The bible says we are animals!!! So....it's settled then, we are animals.
Ecclesiastes 3:18-20:
18I said to myself concerning the sons of men, "God has surely tested them in order for them to see that they are but beasts."
19For the fate of the sons of men and the fate of beasts is the same. As one dies so dies the other; indeed, they all have the same breath and there is no advantage for man over beast, for all is vanity.
20All go to the same place. All came from the dust and all return to the dust.
