Consider this allegory: Someone finds a diary, and a passage describes that a body was dumped in the desert. Is it real, or is it fiction? A team goes out to the desert and indeed finds the body, which corroborates what's written in the diary. Sapient intelligence represents that body. It corroborates the bible's claim that man was created in the image of God, and that animals are inferior.

When the bible claims that man is made in the image of God, and that man is superior to animals, it is not said in the same context as I'm using it here. In other words, no one was saying "the fact that we are the only species with sapient intelligent is evidence there's a God." I'm the one making this claim. What we see around us corroborates what was written in the bible, in passages written with entirely different purposes.
The bible was written by men, of course it's going to claim that man is gods favorite.
How is our intelligence corroboration of us saying we are gods chosen?
