... Most all mammals, except humans and two or three others are able to convert glucose into vitamin C. Humans have the first three enzymes but not the fourth.

Now, why would God create only 3/4s of the ability to make vitamin C and stop, in humans only? If we are, indeed, in his image, does that make God a vegetarian? Uh oh.

You are assuming that God created us as we are today. It is entirely possible that over time, humans as a species lost the ability (through natural selection) to manufacture the fourth enzyme needed to make vitamin C.

Thank you.  And it is entirely possible that man was created
as in the graphic picture seen at the top of this thread and
has evolved into what we are today.  As a matter of fact,
the inability to make vitamin C suggests that at one time
the human diet was so overwhelmingly fruit that we
lost the need to make our own C.  Use it or lose it.

To woolyone:

Looks to me that your dog was created diffently than humans.

You could learn some things from your friend genisis defender.
