"God’s Image—The Difference Maker: What Makes Us Special?" By David Casas and Russell Fuller (AIG)
We can argue about DNA, brain size, and upright stature, but Genesis 1 emphasizes an infinitely greater privilege that sets mankind apart.
Atheism views man as simply a material being like all other animals. In many ways, this is the predominant view of popular culture.

But man is not a spiritual or sacred being, with a purpose and destiny higher than that of the animals.
