Made in God's image?

The #Torah says man was created in the image of #God (#Genesis 1:27).

Many great sages throughout history have asked the question: what does it mean man was created in the image of God?

Does it mean God the creator of everything physically resembles man? because if he does... #chimpanzees and #baboons also share almost 99% of the same DNA man does.

Why doesn't the Torah say; man, chimpanzees and baboons were created in the image of God? Or is it, the 1% that separates man and chimpanzee the Torah speaks of?

The #kaballah says, when the Torah states man was created in the image of God - it was speaking of man's ability, to create reality with it's speech.

For example: When Man (Adam) was 1st created in its purest state, he gave names/perceptions to every aspect of creation (Genesis 2:18–23). Exercising Man's God given ability to create reality through speech.
Another example is: 26 generations after the Creation of #Adam. When man was at its darkest state of consciousness in #Egypt. God revealed the secrets of the universe through #Moses (laws of Torah) giving the Israelites the spiritual tools to change their reality (leave #Egypt).

Where does God 1st exact this power of speech to create reality in the Torah?

Simple.
#Bereshit 1:3 - "And God said, Let there be light: and there was light".

..#Mankind is the only species in the universe with the ability to speak and create reality - as it was expressed by Adam in the Garden of Eden, when naming all of #creation.

To the point: I've heard people of all religions say at one time or another; "be careful what you ask for!"
