Did I get Trent Horn's view correctly?

Immortal soul is "supernatural life"?*

Language and rationality are somehow sth which the first human couple already had without being the image of God?*

That's preposterous. It's an atheist view of what human uniqueness is, with some Christian stuff added as an arbitrary addition!

* Actual words, from Transcription:

3:52 Well, God might not have a specific reason, except that at that point in human evolution, 3:58 the human body had a large enough brain and sophisticated enough brain to engage in rational 4:05 thought, to come to a knowledge of God, to have things like language, religious expression. 4:11 And so, humans now had the ability to relate with God that - you know - a jellyfish could 4:17 not. 4:18 They had these rational abilities now that were raised to supernatural life with these 4:23 preternatural gifts that God gave, but were then subsequently lost.
