Based on the Creation Story in Genesis
One meaning of .man being created is to glorify God's name. Another meaning of being created in God's image is the unique capacity for moral and rational awareness. God made humans to be inherently different from the lower classes of animals. One writer postulated that we share with God some of His own qualities. We share with Him some aspects of His personality, truth, beauty, meaning, will, and reason. These attributes enable us to relate to God in ways no other creatures cannot.
Humans were made to stand at the image of God's authority on the earth as we are the ones that have dominion over all creation including apes. This is evidence in scientific and technological advancements. Men are able to rule and subdue the air, for example, in the field of astronomy and meteorology. The land in agriculture, mining, and architecture and the sea in fishing, swimming, and navigation to name a few. We have taken dominion. Human beings have even developed control over sickness and diseases, control over reproduction rate, and political management of various styles.
Man is the purposeful creation of the one, true God and we are special in the universe. It is grossly illogical when people are of the impression that mankind evolves from apes. In Genesis we read that God created man in His own image. (Genesis 1 v 37) And God said "It was good!" God ceased from His creation, commanded man to reproduce after his kind. Period. If there is anyone who is willing to dispute this fact I refer you to Job chapter 39-41.
Answer the questions that follow.
Who is he that hideth counsel without knowledge, therefore have I uttered that I understood not, things too wonderful for me which I knew not. (Job 42 v3-4)
