As far as sending an arch angel goes, its a great idea if you believe in fairy tales. According to the bible you couldnt go to the corner store without tripping over an angel. It seems rather odd though that they have all disapeard in the last 2000 years.
Okay, that's what you meant. I know my biology 101 but I wasn't sure if you were talking about the godly nature of Jesus. Now this one is easy to contradict: "God is omnipotent" if he wants to conjure up a child with full godly nature but in flesh inside Mary's womb he just does so. Insufficient genetic material my ass!
So let me get this straight: You believe in god but you do not believe in angels and therefore you think god is a rapist.
I am confused.

And the picture in my driving license is also human because it was made in my image!
God didn't craft us to be like him but at the most to look like him.

David Copperfield CANNOT walk on water, he can only create the illusion he is.

The Bible says that god is all wise and after all that's our discussion topic. If you assume that god is stupid, mortal and ugly you can easily prove that he's a crook.
But most people who believe in and talk about God assume him to be omniescent.
Being smart does not put you above the law. but god is not being "smart". He knows EVERYTHING. This is about that much a difference as between living long (e.g. 500 years) and being immortal (i.e. NEVER EVER DIE).
