And this is the difference:
"....a highly evolved human being" indicates human life
evolved from animal life such as apes.
By contrast, many of us of Judeo-Christian belief believe this about human and animal life:
27
God created mankind in his image;
in the image of God he created them;
male and female* he created them.
28
God blessed them and God said to them: Be fertile and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it.* Have dominion over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, and all the living things that crawl on the earth.
Genesis_1
There is a natural order of things, and it is: Human life before animals, and God before humans, self, and animals.
