Fundamentally, the word creatureliness implies the presence of three components: a Creator, a creature, and a context.
---Genesis introduces God as the Creator.
---This God fashioned Adam and Eve in his own image and gave them “dominion” over the earth (So God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. Genesis 1:27). People are therefore part of creation yet also set apart from it.
---As contingent creatures in a universe we did not create, humans have not only moral limitations but also material limitations. We are physical creatures subject to physical laws.
So we are not omnipresent.
Even with technologies that expand the scope of realities with which we interact, our bodies locate us finitely in time and space.
We are also not omnipotent.
Natural constraints limit our abilities to manipulate anything but tiny fragments of an unfathomably vast universe.
Neither are we omniscient.
Apart from revelation, our knowledge is limited to what our senses perceive." AIG
