 Robert the apathetic sanctimonious sinner and toilet cleaner  has again been banging on about god, creation and religious things again and he said this in a comment on my last post:

The other blogger - the sensible one responded to Robert's challenge thus:

You'll pick up from that, that he's also the rude one but he has a point. Why should any intelligent person conform to views held by silly people?

To help in this here's that graph again.

One of the things that Robert and his like-minded Catholics say is that we are "created in god's likeness". Well, why? And, if so, why does this god look like us which quite frankly can be a bit off-putting as I discovered when looking in the mirror this morning after a restless night's sleep.

If there was a creator responsible for the universe and everything in it, why would it look like this?

It's more likely that it would look like this:

or even this:

I doubt that this has convinced anyone and, to be frank* it's not the best essay I've written but remember, this morning I woke up looking like this:
