Summary/Abstract: This study presents the philosophical and humanistic outlook and the Christian thinking about human nature, and in this perspective the man is a rational, conscious and free being, he is in permanent dialogue with God, the Creator of the world. At the heart of rational thinking has always been the man seen as a religious, rational, free and conscious being. As a clarification of evolutionary thinking, Christianity speaks of evolution within the species, and not from one species to another. God is a pretended, impersonal existence, or a principle of the world for philosophy and scientific theories, and even for other religions. Unlike these, the Christianity, as revealed religion, originates from the reality that God exists and because He has truly been revealed to man in the context of time and creation. The key concepts specific to the Christian religion are: God the Holy Trinity, the creator of the world and man appeared from nothing (ex nihilo), man bears the icon of God and is destined for holiness. Based on these realities, no other being in the universe, known or unknown, was, is or will ever be of a greater importance than man, because there is no other being created with the icon of God, for the fulfillment of which God assumed the human nature, saving and sanctifying it through Christ
