An unborn baby is made in the Image of God.  An ape or chimpanzee isn't.

You are an ape/primate. If mankind was made in the image of God, then so are our extended primate family.

People are not animals.  Even leaving out the Creation argument where the Bible tells us we aren't, there are no animals that are capable of intelligent life and building a society in the same way that humans are.

People are animals. We just happen to be on top of the food chain.

That doesn't mean humans aren't created in the image of God, but man's arrogance to separate us from the rest of nature never produces good outcomes.

It is literally the prerequisite for every good outcome. We define achievement by that which separates us from beasts.

And humans are highly complex, intelligent, and sophisticated beasts who do not operate solely on instinct, but on logic as well.

If humans are not animals, then what exactly are we? Plants? Germs?
