6 Taxonomic Kingdoms
Question: Do christains really believe they aren’t animals?
Ok, according to the current taxonomic system there are 6 Kingdoms of living things: Animals, Plants, Fungi, Protists, Archaea, and Bacteria. Now, humans obviously aren’t in the last 3 kingdoms since we aren’t microscopic and have specialized cells. We don’t belong in the Plant kingdom since we don’t have chlorophyll. And we definitely aren’t Fungi since we don’t produce spores (well, most of us).
So, what do Christians think that humans are? Do we deserve our own special classification even though we share every single other characteristic of the animal kingdom? Should we be considered mineral since we were created from dust? What exactly are we?
Answer: As a Christian, feel free to throw me in the Animal category, no skin off my teeth. We fulfill all the qualifiers for the category, so call us animals.
I am an animal, a human animal, but no less a child of God.
