Huge gap between humans and animals

Why only humans are different than the rest of animals in terms of thinking, talking
and the way of living, no animal can be compared to humans?

Why we can't even see animals in midway between humans and animals in
terms of thinking, talking and the ability to invent ..etc?

How that is explained by science, we can see different kinds of animals horses, donkeys, dogs,
different kind of birds, but why humans are unique?
Perhaps you have met some humans that are different from animals?

Did I say that God created life and humans by magic? where did I pretend to know how God created things?

This is open to question, because you have not clarified your view concerning the sciences of evolution and abiogenesis, and as a matter of cosmology where the nature of our universe is vast and billions of years old, or the view of science as is science without a theistic agenda nor qualifications.

Abiogenesis and evolution are sciences of physical processes without any assumptions nor conclusions concerning the existence of God, nor which religions is true.

Prove by science that God has no rule in this universe, not able to see or trace
God doesn't mean he doesn't exist.

Atheists including what called himself as Bahai claiming that science is with them, but
no science is with no one, science can't prove who did it and how this universe came to be.
Science does not have to prove god does not exist.

Do you agree that God made humans unique compared to the rest of animals?
or do you think that it just happened to be so without God's prior plan?

We're unique because God made us that way. As the song says we're one of the wonders of God's own creation.

This is a yes and no answer, humanity has unique qualities that animals do not have, but humanity shares its nature with the animal kingdom in varying degrees,

or do you think that it just happened to be so without God's prior plan?

I answered the question. You have not answered my questions.

I repeat my question once again just to show your dishonesty.

I do not consider Genesis a reliable source. It is an ancient mythical text adopted from Bavylonian, Canaanite and Ugarit cuneiform texts reflecting the ancient world view of the time. No science here.

Genesis

An alteration? happened. Explanation needed in relation to your claims. Nothing in Genesis reflects the science of today. The text of Lucretius a Roman philosopher reflects far more science than Genesis.

No dishonesty at all I said Creation is God's Plan including humanity.

NOW, answer my questions.

Humans came to existence from Apes by a plan, if there was no plan
then why humans have different way of life than all other animals on earth?
Because we became able to think upon abstract concepts, and then generations were able to borrow on the knowledge of their ancestors when we learned how better to record things and pass on knowledge.

Do you honestly think there WASN'T a time when humans live a lot more like animals do now? Do you think we have been using refrigerators, dishwashers, automobiles, planes, notebooks since the very beginning of humanity? You know that isn't true. It's like one gigantic DUH. PLENTY of humans that went before us lived almost exactly like the majority of animals do. We had to work to get where we are now. A whole lot of work over hundreds of generations. But you know this. And yet you think modern day conveniences are somehow a point in your favor. You are looking at the state of the world in a very myopic light. Your mind is closed to the realities of all that has come before you and all that exists in tandem even now. Realities that don't play nice with your foolish notions of deities and unknowable mystical facets of "reality."

Humans are animals. Great apes, primates, mammals, verterbrate, etc. to be precise.

So, the gap is zero. By definition. So I suggest you change the main title of your OP with “huge gap with OTHER animals”, if you want it to make some logical sense.

The parasitic wasp that turns its victims into living zombies to be eaten alive by its larvae are also unique. And they have the great quality of not believing in different and mutually contradicting imaginary beings, unlike some humans. Probably. Which is a plus for them.

Basically all species are unique, otherwise there would be only one species, trivially unique.

So, I am not sure what your point is.

Do you mean it was due time that humans were able to be different than the rest of the animals?
If we give a million years for monkeys then they'll start to record their knowledge and have refrigerators and planes..etc or humans was made differently and hence lived a different
style of life than the rest of the animals?
