In both the Nicene and Apostle's Creeds the phrase which we translate "and became man" comes down to one word in Greek -- ενανθροπησαντα (enanthropesanta). This word is a participle in the passive voice and in a tense which generally indicates action in the past. Therefore, a better way to translate it is "and he was made to be human" I have one “enhancement” for this posting.

Thanks! Reading this, I thought of a novel I'd read two or three years ago in which a new God was incarnated as a woman and the old God (Jesus) got pretty uptight about it. In the end, though, he chilled, and went off to enjoy his retirement. But now I'm scratching my head trying to think of the title, or the author, and coming up blank. Anyone? Very amusing, Randy.
