Have you ever considered how weird this is? It says that this eternal cosmic spirit is built like a human. Does that mean that God has all the peculiarities of the human body? An appendix? An immune system (does that mean there are heavenly pathogenic bacteria)? Does God have a digestive system, and if so, what does God eat? Does God have DNA?What are God's racial characteristics?

The Bible says that Jesus Christ WAS God manifested in the flesh. He had every body part every regular Joe has. He ate the typical foods of his time. He carried Mary's DNA as her biological child. His racial characteristics were that of Jewish decsent, he was Jewish! No, there aren't any heavenly pathogenic bacteria or eternal cosmic spirits!

Our spirit/soul is created in God's image. However our physical body is 'fearfully and wonderfully' made by Him. God is a rational being: he has an intellect and a will. We say that we are made in his image because we are also beings with a rational soul; we too have an intellect and a will. Each person in these respects is unique unto themselves.

yes and no

Striking yes. In some ways man is not like God. Man is both strikingly like and strikingly unlike God Possibly man's unique ability to reflect God's glory back to God. A God mirror of sorts, but a broken an tarnished one meant to reflect God's glory but broken reflects anything but.

It is a marred imaged that requires an act of mercy and a new infusion of artistic expression from the the one who declared it very good once long ago and to with great care recreatet His work suing our fallen, broken and pained hearts as His canvas, Even if it meant picking up the broken pieces of the mirror and suffering pain and hurt as one might picking up broken glass to make it once again into a masterpiece to make God look great.

The best is yet to come as fallen man mae from the lowly dirt we walk on will be lifted up form dust to glory .The redeemed will be lifted up as a group to become like God in character in redemption someday and the Bride of Christ something more awesome than even being made in His image, . and those that will enjoy it will find out that their hearts were made to resonate with the most enjoyment and most satisfaction when they glorify God best as that image of God in them shines forever with God.

That proves that humans are arrogant. How are us "civil" PEOPLE different from "vile" BEASTS? We are more intelligent, yes, but we are much inferior to them in physical ways and nobody can deny it. We have evolved from the same ancestry as apes and we are merely another life form on earth. Don't try to deny nature. That really proves it RIGHT THERE, men are ARROGANT! Plus, how is God a "he"? Is that not sexist?
