Created in the image of God

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?

You have two ears so that (1) you can get a decent coverage of the area around you (2) you can tell the direction of the sound.A third ear would not contribute appreciably to either reason and would increase the demands placed upon the brain.By the way, your argument is flawed because you are claiming that a third ear would make people hear better, and since you believe that we were made in a "great design" by God, the possibility that our bodies could be improved through modification undermines your premise.

[QUOTE]Originally posted by minnemooseus:Maybe it's an intellectual image. Maybe we were created to have a thought process like God.[/B][/QUOTE]I think that's the only feasible interpretation. How can an omnipresent entity have a form? Except when it is deliberately acting in human form for some particular purpose. Yet unlike the biomechanics, which can vary across species adapted to various environments and are always highly specialized, it would seem that the capacity to reason, and to feel, and to have moral values, would be universally similar, whether one is a biological form or something else.Of course such a liberal interpretation of Scripture is likely to irk fundamentalists, and I applaud Lorenzo for bringing it up.
