As far as I know and can google for, the bible does not have a guideline for finding someone attractive nor is it eugenic. Even references it has are so pathetic.
http://www.openbible.info/topics/choosing_a_mate
Why would a created being be worried about eugenics? Why would a creator want his man or woman to be so pick as to "leave out" so many of the progeny pool. Why would he want the unattractive to suffer so much and give so much preference to the attractive, sexy, minority?

Looking through the eyes of evolution though it is obvious. It is a survival tool and is one of the pillars of the theory.

Yet for god, it makes no good sense to be such a dick.

I dunno. My penis fits perfectly in my hand. This indicates two things. One, I was designed to be able to jerk off. Two, my penis is small. Sad
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

-Stephen Jay Gould

I get lots of mail about hand-reduction pills.

"Reading comprehension" why don't you google it?

Let me see if I can boil it down so even a theist can understand it.

A creationist god, given that he loves all of his children equally, would not design a sexual selection preference that would greatly favor a minority and cause great mental anguish for another minority. The bible is evidence for this characterization.

Evolution, on the other hand, is characterized by this selection. What we observe is therefore evolutionary derived and not created.
