Some tall, some short, some dark, some light. Some male, some female. So what does God look like?

Ok, but what about the gender part?

we don't look different on the inside, i mean we all have a heart and lungs, and two legs and arm,
but sometimes there is a defect and that make the appearance different, but we are all the same,

The soul was made in God's image, not the body. God is a spirit, how can a body be the image of a spirit? The body is a cocoon for the soul during the phase of learning. The soul learned before, called natural instinct, and learns after it is released from the body. You see the image of God not through your eyes, but in your soul through prayer. Prayer is common to all religions and is the only way for spirits, or souls, to communicate. Without prayer, communication stops and learning ceases. Then your soul is lost. There is much more to this than you or I can understand, we are only first graders trying to explain astrophysics very badly. Keep searching and learning.

There is a big difference between reading the words in the bible, and understanding what you have read and accepting it.
Genesis 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
"Let us make man in OUR Image, after Our likeness." This is talking about making man's spirit after the likness of the spirits of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost. This is the image we were made in. There spirits.
Now take a look at Genesis 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
man 1st Cor 15:45
" And the Lord God fomed man of the dust of the ground, making him a living soul."
This is when God placed that spirit that was made in the image of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost into the body that was made from the dust of the earth. God is a spirit. He came to us in the flesh when HE was born to the virgin mary, who gave birth to Jesus.
You can't just zip through the scriptures as if it was a steven king novel. You must read it again and again until you fully understand what it is telling you. This is what is call the scriptures being opened up to you.

This is easy.
God=Universe
Therefore, we are made in the image of the universe, literally. Look in any direction around you and you will see one thing- the image of the universe. Look at the component parts of your body and you will see the component parts of the universe like hydrogen, oxygen & carbon, just arranged in a different way.
By the way, Genesis is not history- it's mythology. The best way to see it's mythology is notice when stars were created. In Genesis, stars are created after the earth. This is not what historically occurred because the elements that make up the earth are formed in stars and supernovae.

Who don't look alike ?
We have a rounded Head.
Two Arms, ending in Hands with 10 fingers.
We have a Torso, ending in 2 Legs, with 2 Feet, and 10 Toes. We all look alike !
We were made in His Image. He is a Trinity, we are a Trinity. We are a Spirit, who has a Soul, and lives in a Body.
God is Self Aware, we are Self Aware.
God is Creative, we are Creative.
God is Imaginative, we are Imaginative.
God is Eternal, we are Eternal.

There is unity in diversity, god wants us to understand that even though some are short, dark etc.... the blood is the same the emotions are the same and the hunger and pain are the same, similarly religions are different, body is different , but the ultimate truth is that the Almighty is one

Some will tell you that we evolve to our environment,ie. darker skinned people. And yet others will claim genetics, DNA, science. But I would like to quote the infamous Rob McConnell of the X-Zone Radio Show and say that "if God is in all of us , then we are indeed God"
Do we resemble the Gods' ( plural)........ Are we from this planet... or is this the Botany Bay of the universe and we have simply evolved here. I say , viva le questions!

Because God has no one face and is the Father of all of Mankind, we are all in his image. Kind of like why you look a little like both of your parents, only in this case the image of God is reflected in how we live our lives, modelling our actions around his Son.

Our Creator is a SPIRIT. A being of LIGHT. Human SEERS say even our physical body can be seen as a light. Just focus
your eyes on a speaker sometime. Just above his or her head.
After a while you will learn to see auras yourself.
Samuel 9:9 for the religious.

God is not physical, He is Spirit. Our bodies don't look like Him, our souls do. That's why we love, hate, understand, question, and do all the other things that we do, because we 'look' like Him. That's also why sin is so terrible. It distorts our projection of what God looks like, giving a false impression of Him.
