Talk:Definition of evolution (view source)
Revision as of 14:40, April 8, 2007
, 14:40, April 8, 2007→eh what?: Humans are not animals under my classification system.
Let me clarify, as one of the scientists here, humans ''are'' animals, that is indisputable. Per those of us who are scientists, we are unique animals in many ways, and that is significant. Earth is significant for the above reasons. Science, however, does not comment on the ''moral'' significance of humans or Earth. That is religion's job.--[[User:palmd001|PalMD]]<sup>[[User_talk:palmd001|talk]]</sup> 10:15, 8 April 2007 (EDT)

:It's not indisputable at all. Whether or not humans are animals really depends on the definitions of your classification system. Personally, I'd define plants as living things with a body, animals as living things with a body and mind, and humans as living things with a body, mind, and soul. Ergo, humans are not animals ''according to that classification system''. [[User:Philip J. Rayment|Philip J. Rayment]] 10:40, 8 April 2007 (EDT)

As per '''grand''' consensus on this discussion page and the discussion page of [[Theory of Evolution]], I am removing the fourth definition. [[User:GofG | GofG]] [[Special:Contributions/GofG|<sub>|</sub><sup>|</sup><sub>|</sub>]] [[User talk:GofG | Talk]] 09:51, 8 April 2007 (EDT)
