What does Avatar mean?

I was in my religion class last week and avatar came up. So I woke up and listen to what the Prof. was saying. He sais it means a human representation of GOD. What does that mean exactly? I'm goin to ask him next time I have that class. Who here is a GOD?

 

[The Shadow]

1. incarnation of Hindu deity: an incarnation of a Hindu deity in human or animal form, especially one of the incarnations of Vishnu such as Rama and Krishna

2. embodiment of something: somebody who embodies, personifies, or is the manifestation of an idea or concept

3. COMPUTING image of person in virtual reality: a movable three-dimensional image that can be used to represent somebody in cyberspace, for example, an Internet user

You are totally off base here and misinterpreting what he is saying. It is a human conceptualization of God represented in human form. Not a human as God.

if you are into AD&D you would know that an AVATAR is a Godlike creature with godlike powers.
