I am new to this forum, so please excuse me if I miss some protocols. It seems obvious that man being made in Gods image cannot refer to physical attributes, since God is spirit & man is flesh. It must then refer to spiritual, emotional & mental abilities. These abilities set humans above other earthly creation. Animals can adapt to a limited extent. They can express emotions to a limited degree. Only humans have the capacity for almost unlimited creativity. Only humans can continually build on previously acquired skills & knowledge. Only humans have an inate desire to worship. Only humans have the ability to knowingly plan for the future. Animals are driven mainly by instinct

True the bible uses human terms to describe God. How else could we understand His abilities. He can do work as with hands etc.
