The term has its roots in Genesis 1:27: "God created man in his possess image. . ." This passage does not mean that God is in human form, but rather, that humans are in the image of God in their moral, spiritual, and intellectual nature. In other words, humans mirror God's divinity in their ability to actualize the unique qualities with which they have been endowed, and which make them different than every other creatures: rational structure, complete centeredness, creative freedom, a possibility for self-actualization, and the ability for self-transcendence. However you and I were not created in God's image, only Adam and Eve. Adam and Eve sinned and lost their resemblance to God since God is Righteous and now man has a sinful nature.
You and I and our imperfections are the result of years of improper selections, mutations, diseases and the main gene pool being contaminated, not by God but by man himself. If you really have a gripe, take it to Satan who started every this with his tempting Eve, Eve tempting Adam and Adam giving in.
Satan has been a liar from the beginning, so if he is telling you that God is to blame, just look at the opposite and that will guide you to the culprit.
A lady and man meet in a bar. They both are heavy drinkers, both smoke pot and on occasion smell a line or two of cocaine. The damage they do to their bodies is a proven thing, right?
Then they receive married and have a baby. As soon as the lady finds out she's pregnant, she stops drinking, stops smoking, every that stuff. So does the dad.
However, the damage they did to their bodies is a done deed. Baby has asthma, baby is underweight, baby grows up and gets breast cancer.
Now you know where imperfection comes from. Sin. Not the sin of the baby, the sin of the parents.
Social Justice is a term coined in the 1840s and expanded upon by many, mostly philosophers. Everyone also has the right to like the conditions of social life that are brought about by the quest for the common good.Who was Henrietta Lacks?
She was a black tobacco farmer from southern Virginia who got cervical cancer when she was 30. A doctor at Johns Hopkins took a piece of her tumor without telling her and sent it down the hall to scientists there who had been trying to grow tissues in culture for decades without success. No one knows why, but her cells never died.
Henrietta's family did not learn of her "immortality" until more than twenty years after her death, when scientists investigating HeLa began using her husband and kids in research without informed consent. And though the cells had launched a multimillion-dollar industry that sells human biological materials, her family never saw any of the profits. She has been in an unmarked grave ever since .
