A human can't reproduce with an ape even though we're almost genetically identical. How much further apart would an angel and a human be?

I just said Abraham mistook angels for men. Sounds pretty close to me.

And why would God create angels with the ability to reproduce with humans in the first place? He didn't give that ability to any other creature.

You'll have to ask Him. Scripturally angels and men are capable of sinning. Are animals capable of sinning?

Yeah, but human form is a lot different than actually human. A picture of me looks like me, but it ain't gonna get my wife pregnant... :-)

I did. He said he didn't. Just kidding lol...

That's a good question. I would say no because they were never made in the image of God and have nothing to attain to. They're doing what they were created to do, no matter how wrong we might find their actions. But I could be all wet on that one cause i haven't really thought it through.

My cat doesn't think "thou shalt not kill" applies to anything smaller than himself.
