I'm guessing this forum is about to have its next Golden Crocoduck Award really soon. At any rate, humanity could be in "mid-evolution" for all we know, and who is to say if a cat will still be a cat in another 100 million years?

Everything's perpetually in mid-evolution. The universe, reduced to a slogan

So what does your God look like?

Exodus 33:20 tells us, “You cannot see my face, for no one may see me and live.”

Ezekiel 1:26-28 declares, “Above the expanse over their heads was what looked like a throne of sapphire, and high above on the throne was a figure like that of a man. I saw that from what appeared to be his waist up he looked like glowing metal, as if full of fire, and that from there down he looked like fire; and brilliant light surrounded him. Like the appearance of a rainbow in the clouds on a rainy day, so was the radiance around him.”

Revelation 1:14-16 proclaims, “His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and his eyes were like blazing fire. His feet were like bronze glowing in a furnace, and his voice was like the sound of rushing waters. In his right hand he held seven stars, and out of his mouth came a sharp double-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining in all its brilliance.”

And you think human men and women were created in the image of this God?

By the way, does your God have a penis or breasts? Serious question.

Genesis 1:27 "God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them."

I dont know the answer to your second question.

Are you talking about the same Revelation that isn't found in any Biblical canon before the third century? And the same Exodus that posits a population of Hebrews, numbering in the millions, migrating out of ancient Egypt and leaving not a single piece of evidence that they ever existed?

Just curious.

Those arent the only places Gods image is talked about. I was answering the question on what God looks like. There isnt a simple one line sentence to sum it up.

So maybe you can just do a sketch?
You know what is said about a picture and a thousand words?
