Because the one and only true God has told us that we were created separate from the animals and have been given a breath of life and image of God that the animals were not given.
Beginning Science
Why is Evolution considered a secular world-view theory and not just a belief held by those scientists who came up with it and work so hard at proving? (up to 2 points)
Scientists don't like to use the word belief (it is too unspecific).
Scientists pride themselves in proving ideas they have with some form of evidence (that they work so hard at achieving), which is assumed to work at convincing others to believe it also. Most secular people assume that scientists are the only people who can give them a factual presentation on an issue and will go along with scientific ideas rather than challenging them with some other truth (unless they can come up with specific evidence that can directly refute that used to come up with the original conclusion). Evolution is a conclusion that people will readily believe is true when they refuse to believe there is only one true God that created everything in 6 days as recorded in the Genesis record, and in addition assumes that man can only understand the world around them as they make their own personal efforts at interpreting it.
Beginning Science
