Citation:

If God made man in His own image, what does that say about God’s own anatomy? When God made the world in 4004 bc, He was a young god, His rapidly inflating cosmic playground newly budded from the divine multiverse. Yet already He was wisely conscious of health issues and of a need for medical insurance. Ailments, of course, could not kill Him; divine diseases would be similar to the case of Prometheus and his pecked liver, which rapidly regenerated. Yet why should He suffer unnecessarily? Health care would come courtesy of His humans who would (in His own image) duly display all the ailments to which He might become vulnerable. As a result of their short lifespans, human beings would express much more rapidly, not to mention repeatedly, the ailments that might later assail Him, and would in due course, as civilization advanced, develop medical science with which to combat those ailments.
