I've conceded that while wrong about the past, Evolution is useful mechanically

[Keachian]

You've not made a convincing case that God's children are animals.

I believe I have.

HOW things are made do not define the result. If that were true, the scriptures
would just be another collection of scratch paper. The process of making a Bible
is similar to that of making a comic book. So the Bible is a subset of comic books.

You do realise the main thrust of my argument was around nephesh, right?

Do the SCRIPTURES treat men and animals as different or equals?

Yes they treat them differently, in that man is the image of God, man is fallen, man is redeemed through the blood of Christ, none of this affects man being a nephesh. He doesn't stop being called a nephesh just because he is the Image of God.

Man is food and Jesus died for oxen?

Pigs are nephesh yet they (according to the Torah) are not food, why make the same mistake with humans? Did Jesus die for all nephesh, or for all adam?

That's part of us being in the image of God, that doesn't avoid the fact that the same word is used for animals as it is for man.

You are mistaken. The same word can be applied to both animals and humans. It's a descriptive word. Not a defining one.

We eat Christ don't we?

I guess you don't know the word "eat" and how it is used in English.

Then you must not know what nephesh is and how it is used.
It has to do with what God instilled in all life that will pass away.
It's doesn't classify what the differences are between animals and humans.
