Man was perfect until Adam an Eve messed it up. I has been all downhill since then.

Man was created in God’s image after His likeness, or was he?
Gen 1:26-27
(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 heavens, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over all the creepers creeping on the earth. (27) And God created man in His image; in the image of God He created him. He created them male and female.
His initial plan was to create man in His image AND likeness, but it states in Gen 1:27 that man was only created in His image. Man is still in the creating process where they will be created after His likeness, or to be like Him.
This was accomplished through His Word (Jesus) when He came to earth to show us how to be like Him. Man will only be perfect when they apply His Word to their lives and do what they learn through it.
People will stay “imperfect” and “incomplete” if they resist the Word of God to change them to be like Him. He gave us the capability (image), now we must choose to apply it to become complete like Him. (free will)

God created the truth of us (creation being a constant act, within the eternal Now); "man" is not the truth of us, it is a choice we made out of fear that our Father was no longer our Father...we remain as created.

Because, we arrogant creatures invented the whole one god theory. It wasn't too long ago that each god had his own department. Kind of like the heirarchy chart at the Woolsworth.

It seems they don't understand the question. We should be physically perfect, and well designed.
My bad back and knees say otherwise. Very poor design.

Allah created every human being perfect. They choose there choices. That's how HE judges us after death.

Because the chick talked Adam into eating chocolate, or something.

That's one of the many questions that Christianity have no reasonable answer for except stuff like "Satan did it..." or "We have free will..."

Because God is too vain to have competition.
