LOL!!!
Your "demonstration" of why humans are not animals is three words; "It is plain."
Wow, what a detailed and compelling "demonstration!"
Here I thought that because we have every attribute that placental mammals have, that we are indeed, placental mammals.
Humans are not animals because Syamsu says we aren't. How silly of me. What could I have been thinking?

A schoolgirl is going to get in on this too...
Lastly, let us not forget that he stated that a paper talking about the purpose of the large DDF (deep digital flexor) muscle in horses being more to absorb vibration than to flex the leg when galloping as evidence for intelligent design.
What he most likely did was find the cite from an out of context quote on some creationist site, or something similar, because one part of the paper had the phrase "apparent design" in it. He didn't understand what the paper was talking about, certainly, and most likely never read it in the first place. The paper, of course, never says anything about intelligent design.
And I thought that it wouldn't be likely that my Equine Studies degree would be very useful!

How about we have a seperate section for "Wackos"?
There could even be a division between "Wackos Who are Also Aggressive", and "Wackos Who are Merely Wackos."

What?

In fact, their tenets are not science but simply another religion cloaked and disguised as science.
I read through your whole poist, expecting to hear how the tenets of science are religious, but that never happened.
All you did was rant about secular humanism philosophy.
That's nice, but where did you get the idea that all scientists are secular humanists?
