No, no other 'mammal' thinks or writes There is no stated limitation on the cognative or physical abilities of animals. Well, so far, only man is the one doing the talking and writing.
The reason is that man has a soul and the rest of God's creatures do not (with the exception of Angels)
Now, where is your soul going to spend eternity?

I am not disputing this. I am merely pointing out that such uniqueness does not mean that the classification of homo sapiens in Kingdom Animalia is incorrect.

Even if your unsubstantiated assertion is correct, it does not change the biological realities that have led to the classification of humans as animals. Biological classifications do not consider the presence or lack of a "soul". Taxonomic classifications are based purely upon observable physical traits of an organism. Even if humans have a "soul", as you claim, this does not mean that they are not biologically animals.
Now, where is your soul going to spend eternity?
I do not know. Thus far I have not seen evidence for the existence of a soul. This question is not relevant to a discussion on biology or evolution.

"The reason is that man has a soul and the rest of God's creatures do not (with the exception of Angels)" You have finally given up on any pretense of having a scientific argument. Good for you.
