Answer 1

Back when slavery was legal, people rationalized it by saying, "This is the way is was meant to be. Dark skinned people are inferior and less intelligent, so we can own them." Such idiocy was based on specious claims of absolutes which had no basis in fact. Today, anyone who advocated slavery would be considered a racist lunatic and possibly a criminal.

In the same way, the religious argue that "The Earth was made for men, that 'god' created it just for us and this is how it will be until judgement day." It is an equally idiotic and specious argument.

Just as all humans - whites, blacks, asians, indigenous people - all trace their ancestry to Africa (40,000 to 200,000 years ago) so we can trace out ancestry through DNA to other species - primates, mammals, reptiles, invertebrates, single celled creatures - right back to abiogenesis.

It is just as interesting that those who deny African migration and the equality of blacks and whites are also those whites who sought to own blacks: the religious. (For those who deny that, it is true that many of those who opposed slavery were christians, but so were jews, atheists and others; those who supported slavery in the US were 100% christian in number.)

In the same way that racist idiocy was used to rationalize the dehumanization of some to enable slavery, so it is that religious idiocy is used to rationalize the non-existent 'separation' of humans from the Earth. We are not "special" and the Earth was not "created" for us; rather, the fact of evolution shows that we are products of the Earth and "god" is a product of our imaginations.

The Earth isn't here because of us. We are here because of the Earth.

The mythical "god" didn't create us. We created the mythical "god".

Answer 2

An image is like a shadow. Not detailed and not exactly the same but has a little of the likeness. I think Kefer answered you right when he said it was a little bit of the spirit of God He put inside man. No God is not human.

Answer 3

There is no doubt that God exists. God is all that is perfect and apart from that, the rest of his image is created from our own image.

OK God is perfection. That is all we can know about God. Bearing in mind that perfection never changes, and humans are in a constant state of change, how can we be ANYTHING like God?! Most people strive to be like God (perfect) even without knowing it or believing in God. All other images of God ie; forgiving, loving, merciful etc... these are all human qualities and we have created an divine image that is the ultimate of all these - thus making most people's image of God created from their own image.
Due to God being perfection, He must have created the world out of nothing and not out of a part of himself as this would require perfection to change (which is obviously impossible). This would mean the universe and all that inhabits it are not made in his image or shadow. This also means that Jesus' existence (or suspected origin) is logically impossible as he could not have been 'cut from perfection' as once again, this is obviously impossible.

I hope this helps :)

Answer 4

- God is totally different from his creation;
- there are some qualities which man has which are some of the qualities of God - such as mercy, love, etc. But God is The Most Merciful, The Most Forgiving, etc.
- there is no way that man could be like God.
- the Bible has been changed - the Revelations in the Bible were true in the ORIGINAL TEXT - which exists no more.
only Quran has not been changed and it is the last book of God.

Answer 5

In the form of Jesus, yes God was very much so human. Which is the amazing part, he was humbled enough to come down from Heaven in the form of man, and save all of mankind through the blood of Jesus Christ, of course dependent on those who accept him.

Keep in mind, that exact point is part of the whole argument for Jesus being the true Son of God. Because if God made us in his likeness... who did he make us look like, Jesus, a man.

I mean its said in Gensis, that we were made in his image, obviously a clear time before Jesus walked this earth, so its great evidence of Jesus and his acknowledgment in the Old Testament.

Answer 6

First question we should ask is whether Genesis is right or wrong..

personally I dont believe in Genesis..does not make sense..

MAybe the English/Latin translation from hebrew was not good enough..

About the image thing one possible answer is that by image it means that only God and Humans have the Holy Spirit in them...

Answer 7

at first, God is a spirit, and the image guy is made in is spirit. The actual physique is in basic terms a house that the spirit lives in on its earthly sojourn. 2d, God is countless or endless mutually as guy is finite or constrained. guy became initially created with none flaws - so as a result Adam and Eve began as suited beings. third, considering God is a holy being, he can't sin because of the fact it is going against his very nature. guy, on the different hand, became given a loose will to compliment between stable and evil. guy chosen to provide up his perfection whilst Eve disobeyed God and then invited Adam to do a similar - which he did. finally, Jesus got here to die in the region of sinful humanity so as that guy would desire to return to desire with God in direction of the sacrifice of his son on Calvary. In eternity there'll now not be any imperfections as everybody who has been extra from sin by way of Jesus Christ will stay in the presence of God continuously, and the Bible says that no sin shall ever enter that place. with any luck this solutions your question in a manner which you will comprehend.

Answer 8

I think he gave us Qualities of him self. Nothing Physical more spiritual or even personality wise. The fact that we can feel things and reason as humans is God. The love we share. Yes even anger. God has gotten angry we just dont know how to control it like he does. A Sixth Sense perhaps, thats God. Not our nose or hands.

Answer 9

Spiritual image. God is pure light and so is the human soul. At one time every soul was at the same spiritual level as God until we decided to explore life in the material universe with all of its opportunities for experiencing free will and spiritual growth.
