God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the sky, and over the livestock, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” Genesis 1:26 WEBIn the mythology of the ancient Middle East, the creation of humans was accidental or incidental, a byproduct of what the gods were doing.
But in the Bible, it makes it clear that God specifically and intentionally created humans, and not only that, in His own image.
So we're not an accident. God loves us and has a wonderful plan for our lives.
Ian biologically we have much in common with the animals. The stages of our life cycle is the same. The main difference seems to be that not only do we have self awareness, we are able to reason and reflect, to imagine and to build and manipulate our environment.
