Some false religions have infinite gods. Christianity alone has a personal and infinite God. In v.21, we are told that God created conscious life, the creatures of land, sea and air. Then, in v.27, we are told of the creation of man by an act of this infinite and personal God. Man is distinct from all other forms of life.
Man is therefore unique.
Because we are made in the image of God - this is the basis of our worth and dignity. We are not nothing. Scripture therefore gives us a high view of human life. People believe themselves to be mere cogs in a mechanistic universe. Hence, there is no dignity, nothing special about men, women and children.
