Hair, as can be tested with any simple microscope, is made of dead cells.
God, being immortal, can not have any dead cells.
So there is a problem with all those images of God with long white hair and a long white beard.

is this where you start going all pseudospiritual on us and come up with mathematical proofs of god or something

Zeta Quoron = 1.6180339887, established as the Hair Ratio
Conclusion: 0.38196601 = Dooblefrooble, or the Smurgnoz Ratio
Second Conclusion: I am God, and the greatest Prophet on Mirror-Earth that you are actually on.

FWIW, if I was secretly God, I'm not sure I would use Hatrack as my venue to announce my presence in this world. YMMV.

This part I agree with.

You are assuming hair *must* be made of dead skin cells. I'd be completely unsurprised if there was an animal we know about, that has hair composed of entirely living cells.
Even if there wasn't, it doesn't even sound like a particularly hard thing to genetically engineer.

Does he also not have fingernails?

As with His hair, God's fingernails are fully alive -- pulsing, throbbing, writhing.

maybe God has long hair and beard like in the pictures, and that's why our dead cells turn into hair, they are becoming more like god's cells

If God made man in his image, wouldn't God look like this?

I think the word you're looking for is "culminates."

Well, in that case it's a pretty half-assed climax. I want my money back.

You always knew it was going to end badly.

quote:Two hypotheses: - An immortal being CAN experience cell death of specialized cells, such as hair and nails. These cells are designed to die. - God can appear in any form he wants, being omnipotent. He doesn't actually have dead cells, you are just glimpsing a perception of an immortal being in a form your puny human brain can understand.
Two problems--An immortal CAN experience cell death, God, however, is more than immortal. God is perfect, according to all the experts. Dead cells are imperfect. God can't have imperfect cells.
Second, while God can appear any way God wishes, the Bible says Man was made in God's image. Implying that God chose to look like like mostly hairless ape, and created men to look like that image, then that means our image is not really divine.
Yeah, my next step was going to go all mystical and spiritual. I was going to tie Hair as a representation of our fallen nature, animal nature, and mortal natures into a great universal religious theory. Obviously, the less hair one has the more divine you are. So the Buddhist Monks are more divine than say ancient Egyptian Priests (who wore hair only in their pony tails) who were more divine than Franciscan Monks with their weird semi-bald Moe hair cuts. This would ultimately lead to the least divine/hairiest groups such as certain Rabbi's, Russian Orthodox Patriarchs and Taliban Mulahs.
But then I thought gee, that would be silly.

Who says a dead cell is imperfect? If a dead cell fulfills its role better than a live one, what's the problem?
