Unlike you however, they do not believe we all came from pond scum.

"You don't think God created pond scum? You have something against God's fine creation of fresh water life?

I think your pride in being human rather than a distant relative of pond scum is getting in the way here."

The Bible says that we were created in His image. I hope that you are not implying that God looks like pond scum!

The Bible says that we were created in His image.

In my training, it has nothing whatsoever to do with physical appearance.

The Bible says that we were created in His image.

But it does not say how we were created, except from the "dust of the earth". Which is poetic language that can mean anything.

In any event, literal interpretations of Genesis are a non-starter, since the earth is quite obviously older than 6000 years. Once you throw out literalness, then anything goes in the Bible, including evolution of man.

He certainly doesn't look like me. But if did look like pond scum, he'd be a lot more interesting :-)

The Bible was written by MEN, not God.

Personally, I think God looks a little like George Burns.
