People as pinnacle of creation

JI Packer: being human is a "special dignity"
ESV study bible notes: "People are more like God than anything else in all creation."

also from ESV notes:
While everything in creation to some degree reflects something of who God is (Ps. 19:1–6), humans stand alone as made in the image and likeness of God. People are intended to live as God's created analogies, showing his character more clearly than anything else can show it. Being made in the image of God distinguishes mankind from all other living things.
While humans are the pinnacle of creation, to say we are like God also means that we are not and will never be God. We have great dignity because we are made in God's image, but our worth is not autonomous. God is the source of all human value.
