An '''animal''' is any creature which is a member of the [[Animalia]] kingdom, except [[human being]]s. As [[God]] created man in His image, it is of primary importance to distinguish the characteristics of people from animals, such as the eternal spirit, the right to "take dominion" over the natural world of animals and plants, and the prospect of enjoying [[eternal life]]. Liberals say that these things are of secondary importance and insist that humans are merely apes.

An '''animal''' is any creature which is a member of the [[Animalia]] kingdom. For most modern biologists, this includes [[human being]]s, although there are several qualitative differences which are of primary importance (see [[anthropology]], [[psychology]], and so on).

Animals must eat [[plant]]s or other organisms to survive. The plants are called "producers" and the animals are "consumers".  Animals have complex [[eukaryotic cell]]s, unlike bacteria which have much simpler [[prokaryote|prokaryotic]] cells. Animal cells do not have [[cell wall]]s, only structural [[protein]]s in the [[cell membrane]]; this allows the animal cell a degree of flexibility.
