Especially since God, so the story goes, had not invented those life forms yet.

Indeed, if God wanted to create the universe, about the worst form imaginable would be to look like Homo sapiens or any other animal. Not to mention the susceptibility of "our likeness" to radiation, zero air pressure, temperature extremes, and other things that God, for some reason, put into the reaches of space if indeed God was there to create them.

Christianity would be more credible if it would shed the stone age myths of pre-literate people and concentrate on the central message.








That's cute, except it assumes as true the very issue in dispute.
