QuoteGenesis 1:27
"And God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them."
So he looks like an early Homo Sapien, Homo Erectus, Neanderthal or...?

More importantly, why would God need ears, a nose, hair, feet, teeth, and the like, as he flows through the cosmos and is ever-present?  Why would he have the physical attributes of a creature that is confined to a planet with the terrain, atmosphere and gravity identical to Earth?

Please enlighten me.

Or why would we grow hair in the womb before we are born then shed it before birth?

Good questions, but I doubt anyone will attempt to answer them. (Maria, that was funny!)  And what about reproductive organs?  Apparently he doesn't need them to procreate.

When the bible states something too absurd to explain, theists will often claim it's just a metaphor.  That would be hard to do in this case since it is so explicitly stated.

Some scientists believe that Homo Sapiens and Neanderthals may have mated at one time and produced hybrids.

I've never heard that before.  Where did you come across such information?

Here is one source:
QuoteNeanderthals and modern humans not only coexisted for thousands of years long ago, as anthropologists have established, but now their little secret is out: they also cohabited.

At least that is the interpretation being made by paleontologists who have examined the 24,500-year-old skeleton of a young boy discovered recently in a shallow grave in Portugal. Bred in the boy's bones seemed to be a genetic heritage part Neanderthal, part early modern Homo sapiens. He was a hybrid, they concluded, and the first strong physical evidence of interbreeding between the groups in Europe.

I also heard it mentioned on the Science Channel recently.

kenh, first post so please no flames (lol) anyway throughout scripture God is describe in many different ways,but as for God being like man  having ears and a nose and hair and maybe skin color, I dont think that would be accurate. As for being created in Gods image that definition(image) could mean a mental representation; idea; conception. Great question also
