If you refuse to acknowledge that you were created in the image of God, then evolution is the theory for you. Have fun with it.

Gotcha. It's appropriate to reject one theory based on its lack of "proof" (read: evolution), but one must accept without question the other theory (read: Christian creationism).

OK. Not a lot of room for actual conversation with you on this topic, is there? I guess it would be silly to ask you what other scientific theories you reject on the basis of this lack of proof.

*************

Indeed. But for me:

Then God said: "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. Let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, and the cattle, and over all the wild animals and all the creatures that crawl on the ground."

27

God created man in his image; in the divine image he created him; male and female he created them.

28

God blessed them, saying: "Be fertile and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it. Have dominion over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, and all the living things that move on the earth."

29

God also said: "See, I give you every seed-bearing plant all over the earth and every tree that has seed-bearing fruit on it to be your food;

30

and to all the animals of the land, all the birds of the air, and all the living creatures that crawl on the ground, I give all the green plants for food." And so it happened. 31

God looked at everything he had made, and he found it very good. Evening came, and morning followed--the sixth day.

I believe that your statement is known as a "false dichotomy".

I believe that we were created in the image of God. The evidence shows that evolution is how God created us.

Are you saying it wasn't our souls created in the image of God, but our bodies?

Do you believe God has a physical body that ours is modeled after?
