All creatures bear a certain resemblance to God, most especially man, created in the image and likeness of God. The manifold perfections of creatures - their truth, their goodness, their beauty - all reflect the infinite perfection of God. Consequently we can name God by taking his creatures' perfections as our starting point, "for from the greatness and beauty of created things comes a corresponding perception of their Creator. CCC #41
As the Catechism of the Catholic Church #41 tells us, “the manifold perfections of creatures… all reflect the infinite perfection of God.” This is especially true of man and woman, who are made in the image and likeness of God. By understanding ourselves on a deeper level—spiritually and biologically—we can come to know God in a deeper, more profound way.
