Mrs. Dean's brother said that humans are classified as mammals. Mrs. Dean wonders what the Bible teaches about humans and mammals.
Explain how mammals and humans are similar and different. Use the Bible’s teaching in your answer.
Humans and mammals are similar because they are classified together and share characteristics, such as lungs and being warm-blooded (vertebrates, have hair, or mothers feed milk to their babies). There are important ways they are different. The Bible teaches that humans were created in the image of God. Animals were not created in God’s image.
