If humans are a "special creation" why do we share more than 90% of our DNA with the other Great Apes?


Man is made of body, soul, and spirit. It is the SPIRIT within man that differentiates man from animals. It is the SPIRIT that comes from God and returns to God upon our deaths.

"Dr. Ian Tattersall, in Becoming Human - Evolution and Human Uniqueness, says humans represent a "totally unprecedented entity" on Earth, and "Homo sapiens is not simply an improved version of its ancestors - it's a new concept." It is the ability to make moral judgments that convinces us of our inability to "measure up" to the intended moral standards laid down by God.23 However, it is the spirit of man that allows us to communicate with God's Spirit through Jesus Christ24 so that we can once again be in fellowship with a Holy God25 and experience the ultimate relationship in the universe."

God bless you
