 Satan, the Adversary of Mankind
This understanding of "the image of God" is supported by the immediate text, which shows that mankind's duties included having dominion over the earth and every living creature on it.
In addition to showing the position of mankind on the earth, this psalm also alludes to the reason for Satan's ultimate fall.
When Scripture speaks of mankind being created in the image of God, what is meant is that mankind has been created to represent God on earth.

 Clifford D. Simak: A Choice of Gods - Fantastic Reviews book review
An alien, whose appearance resembles "a can of worms," arrives inquiring about this strange earth phenomenon known as a "soul." Most importantly, Jason's brother John returns from a visit near the center of the galaxy.
What's more, he has also located the rest of mankind inhabiting three planets near the core, and has learned that they have launched an expedition back to earth that is likely to arrive soon.
Jason strongly disapproves, and begins to wonder if there is anything he can do to prevent the ecological destruction he anticipates if much of mankind returns to earth.

 Was There Life Before Adam?
One author characterizes the problem this way: "The emotionally precious view of earth's centrality in a fixed, unchanging universe was crystallized by Ptolemy in the second century A.D., and then taken over by the Christian (i.e., Catholic) Church.
In the pages of Genesis, as it relates to the original creation of the universe, we read the simple, matter-of-fact statement: "In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth" (Genesis 1:1, King James Version).
Does this mean that shortly preceding 3,275 years ago [or 4,000 years ago if John Muir's count was correct] ALL the then-living giant sequoias were WIPED OUT BY SOME CATASTROPHE?" (Edmund Schulman, "Longevity Under Adversity in Conifers," Science, Vol.

 'Separating God from Religion
Human Imagination, mankind's "special sense", is the power that separates mankind from all the other animals on Earth - it is made possible by a powerful brain, capable of comprehending the wonders of nature and the world we live in.
Physical evidence (tools artifacts, paintings etc.) indicates that this "transformation" of mankind - to an imaginative species - happened between 40 to 100 thousand years ago.
Mankind's imagination - through the invention of the wireless communication, the telescope, microscope and scientific investigation, has allowed mankind to peer into secret exotic worlds of cosmology, physics, chemistry, microbiology, electromagnetic spectrum, etc. that we never even knew existed before.

They must purify their sight, and look upon mankind as the leaves, blossoms and fruits of the tree of creation, and must always be thinking of doing good to someone, of love, consideration, affection and assistance to somebody.

Empire Earth 2 is the same thing in that once again, the full spectrum of combat is playable, all the way from mankind's first inkling to smash things in the heads with blunt objects.
Empire Earth 2 doesn't quite follow the same footsteps as its predecessor, and while it is less groundbreaking in terms of gameplay, it undoubtedly makes its mark using the features it brings to the table, such as the war plans screen and the ridiculously useful picture-in-picture.
Empire Earth 2 has just as a diverse array of land, air, and sea units as the original title, and though they are structured largely the same, the mechanics between them are a bit different.

 Battery History, Technology, Applications and Development
We think of a battery today as a source of portable power, but it is no exaggeration to say that the battery is one of the most important inventions in the history of mankind.
He retired in 1819 and died in 1827 and although the battery was a sensation in scientific circles and giving impetus to an intensification of scientific investigation and discovery throughout the nineteenth century, surprisingly Volta himself never participated in these opportunities.
Cruikshank also discovered the electrodeposition of copper on the cathodes of copper based electrolytic cells and was able to extract metals from their solutions, the basis modern metal refining and of electroplating, but it was not until 1840 that the commercial potential of the plating process was realised by the Elkingtons.

 The New American - Hijacking "Spaceship Earth" - August 12, 2002
"Using the image of the need for mankind to colonize space as a stark illustration of the problems facing Earth, the [WWF] warns that either consumption rates are dramatically and rapidly lowered or the planet will no longer be able to sustain its growing population," summarized the July 7th Guardian of London.
"Earth has become a spaceship, not only in our imagination but also in the hard realities of the social, biological, and physical system in which man is enmeshed," stated Boulding in a May 1965 address at Washington State University.
Boulding may not have been the first to urge imposing such draconian measures, but he did devise a cunning justification of a global garrison state: The concept of "Spaceship Earth," a closed, finite system in which resources must be centrally regulated for the good of all.

 Jack Vance, The Dying Earth
Because of the Earth's great age, and because modern ideas of history are long gone, mankind on Vance's dying Earth does not remember much (if anything) of the Earth's distant past.
The Dying Earth has lent its name to a whole subgenre of fantastic literature (both fantasy and science fiction), and it rightly deserves that position, for it pushes and pokes at the edges of the very subgenre it is meant to define.
After a moment of epiphany on her homeworld of Embelyon, T'sais heads to Earth to discover and learn what love truly is. There she encounters the degradation that is rampant on the dying Earth and she wonders about what is truly good and what true love is.

 The Universe of Aristotle and Ptolemy
The Prime Mover of Aristotle's universe became the God of Christian theology, the outermost sphere of the Prime Mover became identified with the Christian Heaven, and the position of the Earth at the center of it all was understood in terms of the concern that the Christian God had for the affairs of mankind.
The Earth is at the center of the Universe.
However, the troubling observations of varying planetary brightness and retrograde motion could not be accommodated: the spheres moved with constant angular velocity, and the objects attached to them were always the same distance from the earth because they moved on spheres with the earth at the center.
