Since we are created in our Creator's image, aren't reason and rationality truly virtues?
Certainly being illogical and gullible are not virtues, nor is blind faith. In proverbs are the words, "Get wisdom, for wisdom is the principle thing".
Faith based on reason is a virtue, for no other reason that you have decided and know why you believe.

Will's answer was so spot on when the creator is man, of which Nietzsche spoke. The political philosophies that followed reaped many human lives.
"Companions the creator seeks, not corpses, not herds and believers. Fellow creators the creator seeks, those who write new values in new tables. Companions the creator seeks, and fellow harvesters, for everything around him is ripe for the harvest" - Friedrich Nietzsche, Also Sprach Zarathustra

As a Christian, I agree, and my faith is based on well reasoned evidence.

Of course, just take our bodies, it is like a chemical plant. People just cannot understand and take for granted the tremendous brain power and knowledge from a Creator, who not only made our bodies, animals, universe, etc., but gave us a soul, brain to think, create, and yet you look into the universe, and what do you see? You see a planet, ours that has everything, life, plants, etc., but do you see another one like us, no, not yet. All you see are "dead" planets, doesn't that make you wonder, why? You know what, even if there was not a Bible, I would still believe in God. The Bible gives us the rules, and the introduction of Christ, who brought us the words of God. I feel that there is something bigger than ourselves, and so do so many others down through the generations. Evidence in almost all cultures, that there is a God. who never even had a Bible.

Interesting reasoning but the cat is the thing. It proves that God has a sense of humour.

Damn, that's some ugly cat right there.
If man was created in God's image, shouldn't we all have a basic working knowledge of physics and the laws of the Universe?

It is unfathomable. If the earth's axis was one degree either way, we would not exist. There is no life anywhere else in the galaxy. An accident? No way. =)

INTERESTING ! You dont call him/her/it god...
A "Creator" (advanced Life-form) , makes
far greater SENSE , than god-business....
Since he/her/it created us in the same IMAGE
is the worrying part...
Possibly our creator came from ORION
constellation .....
