If God created man in his own image and likeness and gave us all free will then is he responsible for everything Saddam Hussein, Osama Binladen, Al Qaeda, The Taliban, and so many other evil people did in their lives ? After all he created us and gave us all free will ? We are his creation !! God's will shall be done.

The clue is in the free will. If it's true that God created us and then gave us free will well then after the creation the rest was up to us! I'm pretty sure that's what it's supposed to mean.

But I'm more leaning towards evolution to be honest.
So us humans look alike in that we have faces, bodies etc. (some more alike than others and some of that is down to climatic regions etc., colder regions tend to have paler people)
Red hair probably originates from a mix of blonde and dark (vikings and celts most likely). Not sure about blonde, except that it's associated mostly with Scandinavia originally, but why were they blonde?

Think it's to do with lack of pigment and lack of vitimin d that's genetically inherited because I have a bit in d in my diet and the sunshine,...once upon a time I'd say we were all black and lived closed to the equator and then land got broken up,,,the aborigines have not evolved that much through time they still the originals.

Thanks peach. Makes sense. There's a name for that study and I can't think of it now, it's in the back of my head somewhere! lol! I'll know it when I hear it. Something like Etymology but that could be totally wrong.

Maybe that's why there is alot of blonde people in northern hemisphere because lack of sunshine lack of vitamin d which the sun converts in our bodies hence lack of pigment which has been genetically inherited through the generations....it is also interesting to note that people from the northern hemisphere are more inclined to suffer multiple sclerosis where in African countries it is generally unknown, saturated fats cause disease interesting to note that in Mediterranean countries heart condition is low compared to northern countries Eire England because their diet consists more of fis, fruit ,polyunsaturated fats,,more vitamin d too from sunshine.

You thinking Anthropology?

As to answer the OP..if one goes down the creationist route, then judging from the Old Testament, God was well capable of anger, revenge and destruction.

So maybe you should see the Image as more multi-faceted?

If God created mankind in his own image, right, but if we really are in his likeness, bad job.

God is not a dictator, He created us in His own image and gives us free will- just as He gives satan free will. He set before us life and death, blessing and curse, and gives us the chance to choose between them (Deuter.30:19). He did this because we are His children, we little gods- He said this in Psalm 82:6.
Because we are His children then He gives free will and the chance to choose between good and evil so that everyone will be accountable on the day of judgement.
God is not responsible for those evil acts, everyone is responsible for every single act he/she engages in and will be accounted for.
