But someone might say - "But Alan, there is a big difference between animals and humans according to the Bible!"

and this is true, the Bible does say that only Adam was created in the image of God.
And what does this mean however?.....is it just talking about our flesh?

If it is, then the Mormons are correct.
If our flesh is created in the image of God, then like it or not the Mormons are correct in their understanding that our God is just a person with a human body that changed over time into being a god.


However if you believe that when God created Adam in his image that this is talking about something within the man.....his spirit, then you can see that the body of flesh we have is not in any way, shape or form, created in the image of God.

Thus we now can turn our attention to the origin of our body of flesh according to the Bible without any worry that we are going against the idea that we are made in the image of God.


So where is the human body from?.....the answer is "from the earth" as we read at Genesis 3 -

"By the sweat of your brow
you will eat your food
until you return to the ground,
since from it you were taken;
for dust you are
and to dust you will return.”


So while man is truly made in the image of God, we also see that at the same time our bodies of flesh are made of this earth......
