Bible Answer: The words translated image and likeness more closely describe man being created in the essence of God. Meaning we have a similar thought capability, emotions, feelings and responses. Not that we look like God. Surely you have seen people that look far different than you in physical structure and stance. Also science is quick to point out it's capabilities of dating, but slow to admit they have no way of proving those dates. |
