Have you ever wondered why there were dinosaurs in the first place?

Not after I learned why.

Have you ever wondered why little boys seem to nearly universally go through a phase of fascination with dinosaurs?

Because they're big and ferocious and awe-inspiring.

In His image.

What, kids are fascinated with dinosaurs because God was fascinated by dinosaurs (but still let them all croak)? Oookay.

Do you think "in His image" related to physical appearance?
Is "image" an exact translation or synomatic?
It could be related to intelligence. When the fruit was tasted "Now he is as We, for now he knows the difference between right and wrong [ablility to sit in judgement?]
Which is why we were prevented from tasting from the tree of immortality, then we would be His equal.
I don't think He would be as shallow as comment to compare us in how we looked.
