Creationists often dismiss evolution for making humans seem like just another animal. Are we, or is there some greater meaning? Is it our ability to communicate via organized language, our ability to use tools, our sense of morality, our connection to some higher deity, or just simply the fact that we are smarter than animals are?
[spoiler]I personally believe that the only thing breaking us apart from other animals is our superior intelligence. Everything in my list sprouts out from that intelligence. Language, tools, morality, religion, all stem from human intellect and were created by humans to serve a purpose. [/spoiler]

We are animals. People have just forgotten that due to modern civilizations cutting us off from the natural world and bombarding us with consumer culture. Why do you think we treat the natural world so poorly? We are fundamentally disconnected from it and need to realize that we are simply animals, very intelligent animals, but animals nonetheless.
