I'm just interested in finding out if you really don't agree with my elementary premise, or if you're just naysaying just to naysay.

I don't happen to believe the concept that "God never changes". It's a bit of self-advertizing that isn't quite true.

OK
God never changes.
But Man does. (Constantly)

So how is Man made in god's image if Man is changing all the time?

Does god have brown eyes for instance? (When ALL Mankind had brown eyes)

How tall is he/she/it?
What even does "image" mean? ...

That is an option.
But would that mean that when we were single-celled creature ... so was god?

The logical conclusion of god evolving alongside us is that he is a product of evolution too. And if god and Man co-evolve ... who is in whose image?

I suppose that God's image could be represented within the incredible potential within the dna of the single cells which was a truly incredible thing.

As ever it comes down to how you hear the words. Through one pair of eyes a single cell is nothing. Through another pair of eyes it is a wonderous thing containing the stuff of every living thing in the universe.

Lots of interpretations.

But the OT was finished (I think) around 500 BCE
The NT was finished around 200 CE
The bible was agreed around 300 CE

Even within those short timescales Man has evolved.

Regardless of the banter with divegeester .. how do you reconcile a constantly evolving
Man with a never-changing god. Howcan one be the image of the other forever?

No. But guess what? I'm pretty damned tired of your automatic derision by now.

"Constantly evolving man". "Never-changing God".

Have you read anything I've posted, just in this thread? Seriously.

I've answered this. Multiple times in this one thread.

Stop harassing me.

Not out of being "in God's image" he hasn't.

We're still the same species we've always been.

Take a good long look at this thread, and my posts in it, and maybe more telling, the posts of others in it, including you.

I think you misread her post. She said:
