I see that you've made a qualified statement, but I thought that the Bible specifically said that man is a little LOWER than than angels?
Quote:
Psa 8:5 KJV - For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.
Hbr 2:7 KJV - Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands:
Hbr 2:9 KJV - But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.

Without addressing specfically your interpretation "God's purpose," can you distinguish the import of the Biblical verses and your statement? In other words, if man is "really superior to angels" then why does the Bible bother to make specific note that man is the opposite of what you have said and omit the clear statement you have made.
I mean, if the ultimate destiny of man is superior, fine, no arguments from me, but we're talking about the beginning, not the end. You speculate about the qualities of the start based upon the eventuality. But the Bible specifically addresses something about the starting point, doesn't it, in words that are the converse of your assertion?
Maybe I'm just misunderstanding you.
