What does the creativity of man in relation to the creativity of the beasts of the field say about God's "likeness"?

In the book of Genesis 1:26, we see God, namely, (El-ohim, or Gods) tell Jesus Christ (John 1:1–5), that they should jointly create man in their “image” and “likeness”. Given that the heavenly bodies, the earth, and the beasts of the field were already created up to that point, what unique qualities do humans have in relation to God as opposed to the beasts of the field? My answer to this mystery is the ability to create. Now mankind neither has the ability to create or destroy matter, (The law of the conservation of mass,) neither can he cause energy itself to be created or destroyed (law of the conservation of energy;) furthermore man has not been able to define the nature or magnitude of the material universe presently, or pre-big-bang, or how or why the first particles of material matter came into existence. Given man’s natural limitations in his ability to know the universe, the nature of nothingness, and the negation of nothingness, man’s ability to create appears to separate him from the beasts of the field in the Biblical sense, and bring him closer to God in the Biblical sense. If you look at the creation of governments, nations, corporations, cities, the order that constitutes the family unit, local, state, and federal laws, organized religion, and religion itself, it causes one to wonder what the root cause of these inspirations are. Man’s ability to create and organize in relation to Gods ability to create and organize as presented in Genesis, sets him apart from the beasts of the field both figuratively and literally.
