Interesting comment. Then you are implying that God MAY have created "another" man but not in OUR image which is HIS image but rather another image that may not actually be HIS original image that WE were supposedly created in.........
This religion stuff is all too confusing to me..............
And I'm not trying to be a SA, just searching for answers.
He might have used the same image there too. Or, “image” may not mean what we think. God is incorporeal, after-all. So, what would “image” mean to Him?
The universe an astonishingly large place. Inconceivably large. It would seem a waste of space to use only one tiny corner and to wait until the universe had been around for an estimated 15 billion years. Then, our planet is supposed to be 5 billion. Our race, in various guises, images, if you will, has been around five million years or so. Christianity, western civilization, has been around 2,000 years. An example used in “A Short History of Nearly Everything” says that if you took your hands and extended them away from your body and said that length represented the entire history of the Earth; most of what we’d call complex life would occupy just the space on one hand and of that humanity would be only the tip of your longest fingernail.
That’s a lot of space (volume) and time to account for. And, all the other countless trillions of worlds are lifeless? I’d say God had more in mind than just us.
