I was curious as to why we look the way we do. Creationists believe that we are created in the image of God meaning we share common characteristics.
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.
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? How were both male and females evolved at the same time, close enough to be able to reproduce. And who came first, a male or female? Why aren't there more sex genders if different sexes were evolved. As a creationist, I can say that God created just males and females specifically. Please try not to respond with questions that reciporicate. Thanks.

What I'm trying to say is that we are created in the image of God meaning that we share common characteristics. You and I don't look exactly the same, but we share common characterics. Its not facial hair, or dimples or sex organs that i'm talking about. Its the fact that we are both beings that act similiarly. We both love and feel pain. That has nothing to do with God's race or size or anything like that. I hope I made my opinion clearer.
I know this is kind of off the point, but the comment about have I seen God. You've probably heard the wind analogy a million times. Its simplistic but follows the same lines. You can see the wind or gravity, but you can see the results of it.
