When Christians talk about being made in "the likeness of God" what exactly do they mean? is God like a human?They would have been made in God's likeness as well (the 'likeness' that God chose for himself).

It was a serious question, if you don't know the answer why did you bother?It means that we look and think like God, only on a much lower level. God made the angels, and us, to appear like he appears when manifested physically. I think he chose a great design (even though some say he should have done a better job on our lower backs).

You'll not find a better answer to your question.
My 'lower back' comment was aimed at evolutionists who think our lower back problems are a result of standing upright.

Don't forget the meat is on the wrong side of the shin. At least it is when I bang it on something.
I'm sorry if I offended you.You, an atheist, asked me, a Christian, a question. I answered it, but it's ok if you want to go 'answer shopping' 'til you get one you like. Many atheists do in these forums.

You got that right. I still have notches and dents in my shinbones from years of banging into things with them.
More examples of shoddy design -- you sure you don't want to rethink your theory?

Do you know of anyone who could design and construct a human?
Yes, minus the brain. And in 30-40 years the brain too.

You said body, not human.
We can manufacture artificial hearts, machines that filter the blood, synthetic blood and other things. The brain is a bit more complex, but give it some time.
Well, like you and OldWiseGuy, I know a kludge when I see one.
Doesn't take a good designer to recognize bad design.
If a wing falls off an airplane, I don't need to be an aerospace engineer to realize "that shouldn't have happened."

Like I said, make a better design. And then build it.
