I think that you are thinking about the outwardly appearance of humans, because on the inside genetically we are all identical and only a minute gene out from the animal kingdom. So you can safely say we are gods creatures, and if an alien did happen to visit I am sure he would think we all looked the same, just humans within humans can distinguish each other features as being different.

Answer 3

We were created in Gods SPIRITUAL image. That is, we have souls that are made in Gods image, ok?

Animals have souls, aparently- in the Garden of Eden, Adam named each and every animal and the Garden was perfect, correct? So since the Garden is perfect, it has animals in it, then animals must also have souls.

Also, consider in the book of Issiah where it says the "Lion will lie down with the lamb, and they shall both eat straw".

Answer 4

that would want to were after the total flood and the tower of babel incident, even as men spread out over the earth and had to adapt to different enviroments, like the want for more effective pores and skin pigmentation close to the equator and a lot less farther north, and so on. What led to the slanting of the Asiatics's eyes, i do not comprehend. not that i'm one hundred% particular of this rationalization in any case. yet it really is what i have study.

Answer 5

Our outward image has to conform with the laws of nature
Dark skin near the equator,light skin near the poles. The same goes for all external features. God is perfect in Love we were all created to love one another as God loved us.

Answer 6

This is the how GOD describes HIMSELF in HOLY QURAN chapter 112.

[112:0] In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

[112:1] Proclaim, "He is the One and only GOD.

[112:2] "The Absolute GOD.

[112:3] "Never did He beget. Nor was He begotten.

[112:4] "None equals Him."

NO ONE can challenge this. Except ISLAM, all other religions on the phase of this planet including their so called human gods cannot fit in this category.

Regarding Mankind, GOD says in the HOLY QURAN, HE created man with clay/dirt. So earth got different colour mud/sand/dirt/clay, in this way Mankind created in different different color and after death mankind will return back to dirt and then GOD will resurrect whole mankind on the day of judgement for the accountability..

Answer 7

God is a spirit and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth,for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
We are created after his image of being a creator,God created us,we create children.It is not about the color of our skin.

Answer 8

Answer 9

Could be because of the geographic isolation as has been seen in fish that were once the same species becoming isolated and developing to their environment so that they become quite different

Answer 10

"In the image of God" means his spiritual image and not just His physical image.
