The fact is that man can have mammal characteristics but not be an animal, just like a Whale is not an animal, but a fish.

Four (or more, depending on how you count them) elementary errors in one sentence. Nice packing!

  1. Man IS equivocally an animal. (Any biological organism that forms a blastula in its early embryological development is by definition an "animal".)
  2. The whale IS an animal (and a mammal).
  3. The whale is NOT a fish. All fish are non-mammals by definition.
  4. Fish ARE animals (but not mammals).

Only if you are following the modern way of defining the various species.

Man is not an animal, no matter how much the evolutionists want to make him one.

Ofcourse, evolutionists may consider themselves as such, but they would be wrong.
