Genesis 1:27 - period. End of discussion, right?

Well... Not quite. :-)

Genesis 1:27 - So God created man in his [own] image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

Are you positive that it was not the image of perception (i.e. how we perceive this universe with wonder etc)? Or possibly evolution is God's image? Just two of many interpretations I can come up with.

Biblical interpretation is murkier than some may think.

Oh, please. Biblical interpretation is simplicity itself. The Bible means exactly what it says, except when it doesn't, and you can tell which is which because everyone who knows the Bible knows the difference even when no one agrees on what any of it means or what the differences are.

Hell, I'll agree with that, RA. (Is this a first? or did we find one in our history before?)

Evolution may indeed be a factor in our being that God put in us.

I only ask that (for Empericism's sake) we are presented with a direct observation of this theory. Not inferred thoughts about dead things with no DNA evidence remaining.

But the fact remains:

We agreed on something. The Bible may have been taken too literally (in English, anyway) by some,and for to long.
