body: in the image of God

We are made in the image of God.
This means ALL parts of us, mind, soul, will, and BODY. But how on earth does our body, this random construction of chemicals, reflect the unseen awesome God? I have no concrete idea, but I'm pretty sure it does.
Maybe think about the way you experience it. The nice feeling of athleticism, the smooth motion of joints in artistry, dexterity far beyond other animals, the way we are designed for running, ...and how sexy we are.
Just chew on that a little bit.

But here are some random implications. Almost all of our body comes in pairs. Limbs, brain halves, eyes, ears, nostrils, muscles, lungs, etc. This might reflect something related to the male/female mutual dependence picture of God. Both hands are necessary but often do different things/have different jobs. Two eyes from different perspectives are needed for depth perception etc.
Now, the two external parts of the body that do not come in pairs. - the head and torso in general I suppose but I won't count those. What are they? The mouth and genitals.
It is interesting that both are sexually related. (I came up with this post by wondering why we don't kiss people with our ears) Also, lots of emphasis is given to the tongue/what people say in the bible. Proverbs says it is like a rudder to steer the whole body, if you can control it, you can control all of you. James 3:8. Proverbs 18:21
Internally nearly everything is single, which kind of makes my theory fall apart. But I'll keep looking at it. Lungs are in pairs, and the bible does not emphasize breathing much. Eating and drinking (bread of life, living water) are mentioned. The heart has not just two but four chambers (but a circular function). What's up with the liver, pancreas, gall bladder, etc??? Two kidneys.

Just more food for thought.
