The New American Bible, which is weird that they would make a specific AMERICAN edition
Why? Do you think everyone in America should learn hebrew and latin? And what of the people in France, is it wrong to have a French edition?

t says "Then God said 'Let us make man in our image, after our likeness.'" Now that makes me think either God is multiple entities, or we aren't made in God's own image after all, but a combination of all the creature that it made summed up in one. I guess. I'm still trying to interpret it.
How 'bout this: God was with the angels he created, he created them in his image and us too.

My question is, if humanity was so corrupted by evil that God was willing to destroy its most precious creation (or at least that's what is sounds like) WHY DIDN'T IT CREATE A DIFFERENT PROTOTYPE HUMAN THAT COULDN'T BE AS CORRUPTED BY EVIL?? I don't get it.
How 'bout this: God gave us all FREE WILL. He did this because he loves us, and if we didn't have free will then we would be nothing more than the robots we create for FIRST (in a way). As long as we can choose what we do, then some are going to choose evil. Let's face it, sometimes evil is enticing, it lures you into it, so people turn to it.

I hope I've worded the above not to offend anyone or to assume that they believe what I wrote. I'm just providing an interpretation to the bible, not trying to tell you that it happened that way.
