I guess. But aren't you missing an answer from within your own belief
system? If (BIG if) from "Let us create man in our image" we infer that man
is imbued with Grace (or the potential for Grace), then it is not
unreasonable to say that man, the only creature with the capacity for Grace,
is the only creature created in God's image, and therefore the only creature
worthy of or necessitating a soul.
