I do understand how evolution works, yes.

And we haven't even evolved enough to become separate species, so no, we haven't evolved enough yet to stop being "in the image of God".

Geeeez, you're thick-headed.

And neither do I, of course.

Not exactly understanding why you're not grasping the concept unless it is your continued negativity concerning me. In short, you disagree merely because I'm the one describing the concept.

This is simply incorrect.

Our species classification is actually Homo sapiens sapiens, classified not only by species, but classified further into sub-species. And we haven't yet evolved even out of this sub-species. But don't worry, we've only been at it for 100,000 years or so (I do not know the precise number, I'm admittedly spit-balling this number, so please don't garrote me yet.)

God plans on unleashing disproportionate punishments and is persuaded by humans not to do so is not incongruent with him being omniscient and unchanging?!

Do you agree that Mankind in a million years will probably be different
enough from Man now to make inter-breeding impossible?

At that time Man will be a new species, and evolutionists will have to make
a fairly arbitrary decision as to when that happened, although it is actually
constantly happening; past, present and future.
!!! 😆
I don't know, I can't see past next Thursday....A million years isn't that long, sharks and crocodiles have been around for a lot longer than that. You can't say for sure that humankind will be a new species, it depends what evolutionary buttons are pushed in the meantime, assuming we are around at all, of course. Evolution into a new species isn't a given. Anatomically modern humans have been around for about 300,000 years, as far as we know, and have interbred with Neanderthals, so who knows who will be breeding with whom, certainly I won't be breeding with anyone, more's the pity.
And I would like to apologize for my last paragraph (the ! marks ) , I was at the end of the mother of all head colds when I wrote that and was feeling a bit growly, and regretted writing it afterwards. I trust and hope there are no hard feelings.

As humans, you and I change our minds when we see a better way of doing something (or if convinced by others). For God to do this however necessitates that His original intention was imperfect. - Which itself contradicts God's portrayal in the bible. For example, 2 Samuel 22:31 "This God—his way is perfect."

I don't find it credible that an omniscient God would lay aside His perfect plan to accommodate a working relationship with mankind. Indeed, we are expected to accommodate Him. After all, He knows all things, from the beginning to the end.

Maybe God is strategic? Perhaps God nurtures mankind's moral development by putting things out there for us to challenge? A parent does not nurture development without interaction. How do you know these weren't tests in which God hoped to be overruled?
