I know we are discussing criteria but I bolded where you said how you get your criterion from the Bible "because the Bible says so" - and what I'm talking about is not just on this biological matter, but on other matters - if you're going to just get your criteria from "The Bible is right because the Bible says so" - then I don't see how I am supposed to argue with you. That is circular thinking.

I am not, nor was I trying to say "The Bible is right because the Bible says so". Like I said before, I agree that the sentence you quoted might appear to be saying that, but that is not what I meant. I meant that it is my position that man is not an animal because the Bible says so. And regarding the man/animal thing, I think the only real issue between us is our criteria that we use to decide the question.
