There's no such thing as evolution... there were no people on earth before Adam and Eve... and we didn't come from reptiles or any other animal. Because there are similarities in our structures, then these are the designs of our Heavenly Father.
Our souls are created in the Heavens "in God's image." Our human bodies are not in God's image... our soul is and it is encased in a spirit body which resides in our physical body... so then our spirit body contains our soul and our intellect and all of our five senses... and after we pass from this life to the spirit world... our spirit body, our soul, our intellect all go with us... and our spirit form is exactly as our human body form was when we were alive.
You need to preface your statements with "I believe"...Like this...I believe you are dead wrong about everything you stated.
Absolutely right. I wonder if 'our five senses' allegedly go to the 'spirit world' with the hypothetical 'spirit body'. This stuff shouldn't be presented as fact.
Being sentient/sapient or having a definite and natural ability to become sentient/sapient. An infant may not be sentient/sapient yet, but will become so in time.
Absolutely right. I wonder if 'our five senses' allegedly go to the 'spirit world' with the hypothetical 'spirit body'. This stuff shouldn't be presented as fact.
Correct. And I think it is possible when considering the Buddhist view that there are six senses. Mind would be the sixth sense. When you feel like you're being watched what part of you is feeling/percieving? It is the mind sending signals your brain interprets.
Since the mind cannot be found within the body, it is possible that mind is the link to original being.
My dogs have unconditional love for me and my family, I wonder if they are part of god's image?
Yes. Images of gods - this picture , shows the developed abilities of the person , dogs and and ... in the form of the image.

You can believe anything you want... I post the truth.
"No, man has not evolved from the lower animal, but only from himself when he reached the bottom of his fall. In this particular, the history and experience of man is this - he was created perfect, - he sinned, he fell from the condition of his created state - his condition at the bottom of his fall was inferior in some phases to the brute animal - after long centuries he commenced to rise from his base condition, and had made progress when the scientists by their discoveries found evidence of his then condition, - and since then he has been the subject of their "evolution."

"These spirit faculties, which man calls the intellect and the five senses, are a part of the spirit body which is enclosed in the material body, and which in turn encloses the soul. When the material body dies, the spirit body continues to exist and live on in the world of spirit, and with it and as continuing parts of it, these intellectual faculties perform all their functions free from the limitations that the physical organs placed upon them."

Exactly what trait or characteristic does man/woman have that defines them to be made in God's image?
Our spiritual consciousness. God is the Consciousness that is Cause. We are each a reflection of that consciousness that has its spiritual being in and of that Cause.
