God was looking at us from the spiritual point of view.
I don't think God is a scientist. He probably understands our scientific thinking, since it was Him that gave us reason and curiosity as part of "His image", but His knowledge must go way beyond our scientific world view. If you'd meet Jesus on earth and would ask Him whether we are scientifically animals or something else He might say something like: "Why don't you look into your science books for that answer?"

Well, I agree with the emphasis on the spiritual.

But the Bible also has a very strong element of factuality (there is symbolic language, too). For example, creation and the resurrection are vitally linked with Christian doctrine and the gospel. I Corinthians 15.22; Ephesians 1.20, for example.

I will have to re-visit this. I butchered the Hebrew-to-English translation.

However, there is only a 3% difference between the DNA of a primate and a human.

Well, I guess I was forgetting. I had already finished postgraduate studies and the Wall was still in place. I recall that I was already at university and Chancellor Schmidt was in office in the West.

Maybe, just maybe, I'm a teeny bit older than you; it's easy to forget just how quickly the decades hurtle by. :)
