(March 22, 2013 at 1:26 pm)jstrodel Wrote: I think atheists just make up differences between people and animals and there are many different ways to do this because no one has any definitive proof according to the atheist standards that people are different from animals.

I think the shoe is more often on the other foot. Unless you believe in something like creation, why would you doubt man is a mammal? Atheists have no problem with that. It is more often Christians who have had a problem with that designation since their taxonomy more often goes: A) creatures created in god's image -vs- B) all other creatures.
