Try reading the Bible, even the parts you don’t believe in. It’s somewhere in Psalms where it says that God made man a little lower than the angels.

Yeah, well, somewhere in the Bible (you choose to ignore) it says God created man in His image and likeness, and gave him dominion.

Try reconciling conflicting statements in the Bible rather than selectively quoting only those thing you happen to agree with, or judging someonen else.

Speaking of which, as to whether I have (legitimate) doubts that the Bible is a pristine word of God, is really not your concern. Pick the logs out of your own eyes before you start picking someone else's.

Forgive this intrusion. If someone has not yet posted the following, it addresses your remarks reagrding being less than the Angels.

It is said of Jesus that he took upon Him flesh and thus for a time was lower than the Angels and obedient even to the death of the Cross. Since we are bound by our flesh, we are indeed a little lower than the Angels. BUT, through His Spirit we are transformed to higher than powers and principalities. ( Philippians 2:8)</p>

1 Psalms 8:5 For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.
2 Hebrews 2:7 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:
3 Hebrews 2:9 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.
