Picking the minds of Christians some more.
Biblical: Man is in God's image.
I ask: How can the creation of a perfect Being be imperfect?
The very possibility of sin entering the world, compounded to God's prescience would imply God made the world imperfect in the sense that not only did he know sin would entered the world, he allowed it to happen, which, being omnipotent, He can only choose out of His own free will.
Now it seems to be the consensus among Christians that man chose to sin, but that the creation was, in essence, perfect.
But how does that fit in with the idea of man in God's image.
A perfect God, a perfect creature? Is man not a creature of God?
Why does this "perfect" creature choose sin?
