"Image" does not mean "clone". An image is not a copy, but rather  
something that _looks_like_ something else. For example photographs, and  
statues. Neither a photograph nor a statue can see with their eyes.  
Effectively an image uses less dimensions than the original. So we are 3  
or 4 dimensional images of the multidimensional Creator. We don't even  
know what other dimensions are like, scientists are still speculating  
about nth dimensions. So our DNA is not necessarily clone of God's DNA,  
but a method of reproducing and image representing only 3 dimensions of  
features of God.

BTW, a multidimensional being would need only one multidimensional eye to  
be able to see all around, even if it is on the front of the head :)

Since we do not know everything about all dimensions that exist, we cannot  
know how the universe started because we do not have enough information.

Heh. Maybe someday someone will write an AI program that comes to the  
conclusion that humans don't exist!
