If god made us in his image?

Those animals were just his infinite imagination. When God got around to making apes, he just got lazy and decided to make them 96% in his image.

His archangels. Gabriel is the one who looks like an elephant.

I think we are like an art masterpiece. Maybe He made us like we would draw a picture or paint a painting. He made us, and so that it was good. Animals, included. This is just a guess.

He's creative. Fortunately, He did better than me in art and cats are much cuter than the stick figures with paws I would have done.

it is written that God created eveything after its own species, Who but God alone would have the wisdom to create animals, birds, and trees all for the benefit of mankind? So birds sing his praises mountains quake at His sight, animals also know how to care for their young, the heavens declare his majesty,How great and glorious is our God.

He didn't techniqually mean in image. He meant in emotion wise, we have all the emotion God have. He only look at us in the inside not on how we look. Everything we feel, he feel it too. Like in morals too.

well actually what ıt means ıs that we a 3-part beıngs lıke He ıs.

God - father, son , Holy Spırıt

Us - mınd, body, soul.

So we are three parts kında lıke the same structure as He ıs...

whıch ıs also what sets us apart from anımals...they aren't 3 part and don't have a soul. your soul ıs lıke the spırıtual part of you that lıves on when your body dıes. anımals don't have thıs!

I would think it means our basic makeup, thought patterns, appearance, everything is somthing that we would recognize if we met God in person. I think we are like Gods' minnie-me's.

"God's image" is not in reference to our physical appearance, but our ability to reason, make moral judgments, and have personality.

I hope that helps to clarify your question.

The real question is if that's true how come we don't all look the same o_O
