Answers in Genesis Q: Are humans just animals?

A: People who accept evolution are more inclined to believe that there’s not much difference between cats and children. After all, they believe we’re all just animals. Sadly, this has had an enormous influence on the way people view abortion.
If evolution is true—and if man is just an animal—then what is in a mother’s womb is just another animal. If you are willing to get rid of spare cats, why not get rid of unwanted kids in the same way?
What’s so sad—and inconsistent—in our culture today is that people will spend a lot of time and money trying to find a home for a cat, or they’ll protest against animal research and demand animal rights, but many of these same people think nothing of having an abortion to get rid of an unwanted child!
Evolutionary indoctrination has led people to abandon the absolutes of God’s Word. Since our Western society has largely turned from the truths of Scripture, we have lost an absolute morality. Instead, all becomes relative, and society forgets that man is made in the image of God. The solution is returning to the absolute authority of the Word of God.
While all life is valuable (within the proper perspective of stewardship), a human is made in the image of God and worthy of even greater respect and protection. To read more on this topic, see Get Answers: Morality and Ethics.
