5 As thou knowest not what is the way of the spirit, nor how the bones do grow in the womb of her that is with child: even so thou knowest not the works of God who maketh all. - Ecclesiastes 11:5.

Have you ever given much thought to the fact you were in the mind of God before the foundations of the world. Not just a plan to create something but the exact way it would be created. Every part of you was planned for creation. You are perfect in creation and there is not another like you.

They say 'everyone has a twin,' that may be true in appearance but it is not true in the creation of expression. No one can express another's individualism, that can only come by that individual.

Even with some kind of a handicap that person is an individual created perfect in their creation (imagine and likeness of God). Perfect by their ability to express only who they are. A handicap is only an imperfection to human beings (bodies), but the creation is perfect. We can be who we are not based on body but based on soul and spirit.

I agree that God creates each person as a unique individual. However, I believe that humans are born with a sin nature, corrupted by sin, as is the whole creation. Paul said that the “creation was subjected to futility ... in the hope that the creation itself will also be set free from the bondage of corruption” (Romans 8:20-21). Indeed, we will see a new heaven and a new earth.... (Revelation 21:1).

Yes, but regardless of the situation of corruption, human beings are created in the image and likeness of God. It we say that Adam's disobedience caused distortion to creation (sin) that is true but human beings never loose the creation of the image and likeness of God.

The human being was never complete in creation, only Christ can complete the creature or human being. Created to contain the life of another, hence a fall. Ephesians 1:4.

The intervention of grace in the sinner's heart brings a new life in Him indeed, not merely some kind of improvement on the old life.
