God and Mammals?
What makes God treat the human mammal different than the other mammal in his kingdom? In the Bible it says that the animals will have a place in heaven but they do not have to follow any of the laws set forth by God so what makes it different that humans have to? Why would God give the free will and a sprit/soul to one and not all of his creations?
Now I know the first argument will be that humans are not mammals/animals but let us take a look at what all mammals have in common.
Hair: All mammals have hair, so do humans
Milk: The female of the species produce milk for the young, so do humans
Jaw Bone: The jaw bone is a single bone, so do humans
Middle Ear: The middle ear has 3 bones, so do humans
Heart: The mail artery leaving the heart curves to the left, so do humans
Diaphragm: Mammals have a diaphragm, so do humans
Body Temperature: Mammals maintain a constant body temperature, so do humans
Young: Mammals fertilize their young internally, so do humans
Brain: Mammals have larger brain size, so do humans
Teeth: Teeth are a different sizes and functions, so do humans
So why are we treated different in the eyes of God, what made us special that we could suffer his wraith and not the other mammals?
Ready, set, go...
Because God gave humans the Bible. Animals just get honorable mention in the Bible.
I don't know about the soul part. The free will part? For all animals? Isn't the planet a big enough mess as is? I can see it now..."Herbivores of the World, Unite! Down with Carnivore Oppression!" Now, being that there are more Herbis than Carns, the Carns will have to set up a stealth predator network...that is, if they can organize as well as the Herbis (ie, assuming they decide not to eat each other).
Jesus Jeffrey Christ, just the politics alone will make human-only affairs look positively simplistic...

Humans feel they are above everything, everybody, animals and including taking care of our earth. Humans can be very selfish, egotistical and superficial.
