Created in the image of God

In God’s image.. DNA is god.This is normally taken (literally) to mean God looks human and made us look like him. This view has caused no end of problems. But when an artist paints an image there is nothing to say that that image has to look like the artist, but you will find that a lot of that artist will end up in that image. So when you think on the term in God’s image it should be realised that the image is not a physical interpretation of what god looks like, but the result of the will of god. Put another way, ‘how God defines us to be’.We have come to understand the importance of DNA to life on this planet and to us as humans. DNA is indeed the driving force of existence and life. DNA is what makes us what we are. It defines us as humans, cats as cats, grass as grass and so on. In a very real sense we are made in the image of our DNA. A gene for red hair, a gene for height, a gene for all physical attributes and many mental ones too. DNA has a definition, design, image of what each of us are, and though each one of us is different we are the same. We are what the DNA makes us. Also as our DNA is the same stuff, simple base pairs in pattered sequences, all DNA sequences are essentially the same thing, just in slightly differing configurations.So if we are made in God’s image and DNA is the painter that defines what we are DNA must be god
