I don't think it is that obvious. The fact that a physical body *can* exist in what we call space doesn't prove that it can't exist elsewhere or is bound by that space. This is particularly true since we have no idea what may or may not exist outside "space." The language of the Bible indicates that physical image is intended. I suggest you come over to talk.religion.misc and contact Jay Windley. Jay teaches Hebrew at Kansas State and has written an article on the subject. It uses Hebrew and Greek characters which aren't in the ascii set so it can't be sent email. If you send him a stamped, self addressed envelope he will send you a copy. >... Here's a >thinker for you: if Adam was made in the physical image of God then what >was Jesus made in, or did they both look exactly the same? Adam was made in the image of God. Jesus was made in the *express* image of God. (Hebrews 1:3, emphasis mine) I think this means Adam was like God as a son is like his father but Jesus and his Father are as alike as identical twins. Jesus and Adam would look different but Jesus and the Father both look exactly the same.
