Just wondering how do you know this? You seen God lately?

Tell me what was the point of evolving an upright stance from 4- to 2-legged creatures if most of the animals prefer activating as 4-legged. And 4-legged creatures obviously can survive and move better.
Well first up why do four legs give you a survival advantage, so you can run faster?
But if like humans your advantage lies in being able to use tools then running on all fours is a bad idea as feet/hands adapted to run on are less able to manipulate tools...
Tell all the four legged animals we have hunted out of existence how advantageous 4 legs are over tool use... Oh you cant can you they are extinct...
quote:
Please explain why we don't have 3 ears instead of two (i'm being exaggerating) because the point remains that we as creationists know we are created in the image of God. But if we evolved, whose to say why we don't have 3 ears out of complete chance, than just two? If its survival of the fittest, shouldn't those who hear better survive better?
Heres a hypothesis for you (I`m not sure if its right) ears are located over weak points in the skull having more ears would be a bad plan as it would lead to greater chance of buggering up the brain in an accident....

Why not a vagina?
Or is God hermaphroditic?
Or a neuter? God doesn`t have to have sex to reproduce....

Understood but in order to state with absolute certainty that we share common characteristics you must observe God and his characteristics otherwise it is a hypothesis based on nothing.... Yet another a priori speculation...

Seems to me he was referring to physical appearance...
