no it doesnt........most living organisms (by far) are self reproducing. why not make humans self reproducing? anything else is over complicating a simple system.
distinct genders.
Allows all the advantages of sexual selection in evolution, without reducing the

Originally posted by sonhouseThe image or likeness is metaphorical and is used to refer to the unseen spiritual aspects and characteristics of God. So please get your head out and pay attention. I just mentioned that it is things like love and creativity. Saying "the right hand of God" is a reference to God's spiritual power. Jesus was not meaning that He wished to be in the physical image and likeness of a mother hen when he said the following:
So how can your god be a spirit on one hand and look like mankind on the other? Did your god look like just men before Eve was created or did it take on female characteristics later to keep up the image, so to speak?
“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing!
(Matthew 26:37)
