Humanity is not irrelevant. But it is irrelevant to the argument you are cutting and pasting futilely trying to describe a difference between micro and macro evolution.

And if human life is created in the image of God, which race of humans is that? Whites? Blacks? Or maybe an extinct member of genus Homo like Homo habilis or Homo erectus? And if God looks like one of the modern human races, why would God try to emulate an evolved ape even before the universe was created?



You are creating a problem that does not exist. All humans, whether living or dead, are created in God's image. You seem to forget God is infinite. Therefore when He creates He creates lots of variableness.


By that reasoning, God could be a "She" instead of a "He"?

He represents both genders because the image of God is not merely a physical image, but mind, will, emotions, and most importantly a spiritual dimension that includes a conscience.


In other words, historically in our collective "Western" languages we just use the male pronoun out of convenience?
