This is not a logically sound argument. Infinite doesn't mean all encompassing, mathematical series are effectively endless but they don't contain everything (let's say fish or cheese to make my argument sound funky).

Again, maybe you intended to use the word infinite to state something else?

Are you saying that there is something beyond infinity? Kind of like infinity + 1?

All that does is try to change the definition of infinity.

You are asking the wrong questions. The better one would be why are humans relatively hairless. Since this seems like a downgrade, humans had to wear the fur of other animals because they lacked sufficient hair of their own and would of otherwise died had they not worn the fur of other animals.

Of course it is more likely that some aliens messed with our genes as opposed to this having anything to do with "God".

You read my mind actually. I was going to talk about us being relatively hairless, but the monkeys in this thread might go bananas.

But we evolved in Africa and then moved to colder parts of the planet.

"The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully."
¯ Richard Dawkins, The God Delusion

Deuteronomy 32:4
He is the Rock, his work is perfect

Matthew 5:48
Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

Scriptures tell us to be like God and emulate all he does as we are to follow in his footsteps.

If you are a Christian, are you capable of following your God?

Would you be able and willing to do some of the things the bible shows God doing?

Are you created in God’s image?

Are you created in God's image?

When the bible said that men and women were created in God's image, it wasn't talking about our physical body, or our spirit/personality, but instead it was talking about our soul, God is a spirit after all. The reason that I made certain to separate spirit from soul is because the human soul is the exact opposite of the human body. They are both vessels, the difference is that one dies physically because of it's temporal expectancy. while the soul does not die, at least not in the same way as the physical body does. Going to hell is soul death even though the soul can never die. Our spirits are basically the same as our personalities, which operates in both vessels.

If by chance what was written in the bible is true, there's pretty strong evidence that suggests that the reason that we have a physical body at all, is due to the fall in Eden when we took on a second nature. Our physical nature.

We only exist in the physical realm due to the fiasco in the garden.

But was the hair actually previously a detriment?

Prove it.

Wouldn't bother with Shak. He also thinks Jesus Christ and all the miracles He performed are a "myth" too.

Wait are you bashing someone for not believing Jesus was magic?

😂 Sorry if it went over your head.

Plus you are the troll that Ushgarak almost banned. Therefore, I'm not going to answer any questions from someone who is not going to be here for long.

We lived in a very hot clement. Unlike the Gorilla and chimpanzee who lived in the mountains, we lived in the open glass lands. We evolved a different strategy called sweating, and that works better with short hair. We have just as many hair follicles as a chimpanzee, but our hair is much finer.

Yes, we are a biological life-form, therefore not made in the image of any god.

I am not asserting that we relate to God in strictly physical context. This concept (i.e. created in God's image) is not about physical resemblance.

Wow! You don't understand evolution.

The idea of a missing link was disproved long ago. Also, monkeys are modern animals and have evolved along side of us. Therefore there is no way we could have evolved from monkeys. Humans and chimpanzees evolved from a common ancestor about 4 million years ago.

Because, common ancestry have been pushed back to 13 million years now; http://www.livescience.com/46300-chimpanzee-evolution-dna-mutations.html

And it is still "may be."

Then why the focus on intelligence (a physical attribute).

Originally posted by Shakyamunison
Because there is no such thing as supernatural.

I use the word God to communicate with people who do not know what the Mystic Law is.
This might help:
