We are the most precious thing He has made. There are beautiful butterflies, fascinating flowers, incredible animals. But we are different. We are made to be like God. Just like Him we are conscious of ourselves, able to think complex thoughts, to create things of intricacy, to love intensely, to share our heart with others.
Mankind is quite different to animals.
Mankind is made in God s image. A meaningless thing on a small planet in an endless universe. This world is not just some little clod with accidental life on it, in an unmeasurable and meaningless universe. God has made this planet for us, the apple of his eye. The eternal, invisible, almighty and endlessly creative God made life on our planet.
