DNA Proves Existence of a Designer

They are closer to plants than non-conscious life is to animals.

No they aren't and you're wrong again. Most animals are not conscious, so the distance there is zero.

And what non-conscious life is classified as animal btw?[/b]

Sponges, jellyfish, barnacles, sea cucumbers... There are birds that will gleefully beat their brains out attacking their reflection. The list of conscious animals would be a damned sight shorter.

The fact that consciousness is difficult to define means that it's a lousy criteria for classification, which is why nobody uses it. If you use poorly defined criteria then all of your classifications reduce to mere opinions.
