At the same time, and I think very much in line with the assertion that humans are created in the image of God, Humans are not, in fact, gods.

And a sign of the humans' importance is the fact that Humans are said to be created in the image of God, And this occurs in Genesis 1:26, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness."

So, if those are the distinctive characteristics that earn the human being certain rights over creation But also give them duties towards creation, And the human is distinct from animals In being created in the image of God, To be godlike is to perhaps possess some of these characteristics.

那么，如果这些都是与众不同的特点,它们让人类有权利管理其他创造物,但是也让他们对其他创造物负有责任，人类与其他动物不同,因为他们是依照上帝的形象所创造，与上帝相像便可以获得一些这样的特点。
