I know that creationists don't believe in evolution, but even some reasonable Christians I've met who accept evolution still talk about how each person is 'created in God's image' (usually accompanied by a smug 'I'm special' kind of expression).
That really makes me wonder... What is God's image exactly? If we evolved, does He look like the chimp/human ancestor, or maybe like a transitional hominin? What about the common ancestor of bats and apes? Or plants and apes? Does God look like pond slime, perhaps? Or maybe like an RNA molecule? Or does God evolve morphologically at the same rate as we do?
Think about it, theists.
