The theory of evolution appeals to many humans. But what does the Creator of both Man and Animal say? Clearly there’s a difference between the two according to Him:
(Genesis 1:26–28)
26 Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”
27 So God created mankind in his own image,
in the image of God he created them;
male and female he created them.
28 God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.”
Although you may choose to believe you’re merely another Animal, I believe God who clearly says otherwise.
I very much disagree. Homo sapiens (humans) are both mammals and primates within the ANIMAL kingdom.

Agree to disagree.
We have eternal souls. Animals don't. Because, if they do, we shouldn't be eating them.
Yet there are Animals mentioned in Revelation, which is a vision of eternity. That’s why I suspect and certainly hope they’re there.
I don't think they have souls. But in the Resurrection I believe they will be there with us. I hope to see every animal I've ever loved then.
