Slide 69 of 109


The biblical creation model indicates through the Hebrew descriptions asa and yatsar that man was made or formed from pre-existing material or designs (see slide 9). Because of this, we would expect that humans would share anatomical, physiological and biochemical similarities with other animals. Scientific data shows that humans share a large number of biological similarities with other mammals, especially primates and apes. The next five slides will examine some of these similarities and differences.
