Here's something to think about..
The earliest known ''life forms'' go back to at least around 4 billions of years ago. Throughout earth's history many species (most that have existed) have gone extinct. Today, there are billions of humans, cows, pigs, chickens, and of course even more ants and other small organisms. There are only a few thousand tigers left, even less Amur leopards. Many animals (and pants) are critically endangered. Homo sapiens are around 230K years old, and that's just where we have pointers of reference, of substantial differentiation, as organisms aren't fixed or ''created'' by any imaginary being.
The question that you raise already carries baggage (such as ''intellectual capacity'') and you infer ''meaning'' from it. It is you as a human looking into the mirror and thinking up these belief systems.
