You can try to blame every potential physical failure on sin if you want, but a lot of useless shit is built into the firmware. Are we built in the image of a wasteful, sloppy builder, or is my appendix part of God's Plan? Or wait, do I have an appendix as punishment for Adam and Eve eating the wrong fruits? Maybe that's it. Nice going, assholes. That shit hurts when it fucks up on you.
Or, do we just go with the truth and accept that these are parts which we no longer utilize thanks to evolution? I know, crazy.
These questions were answered in my 'evolution thread.'

which means: image, likeness (of resemblance.) This is the word we translat into "Image."
As you can see no where in either of these two words is a 'clone' or photocopy implied.
As Christ was God incarinate, and He was fully Man I would say that He had nipples and a belly button.
