Everything you gave as an example to refute my point does not physically change us into something we are not

Your status as created in the image of God does not refer to our DNA. Other wise chimpanzees would be 98% "in the image of God". It refers to our spiritual component, our immortal soul. No change to our DNA can change our soul.

and even if I was wrong about that, Adam lived a lot longer than we do today, and he was more in the image of God than us. So clearly until we live past 900 we are probably just undoing damage caused to our 'image of God' caused by solar rays or sin nature

The anti-christ or false prophet I forget which, creates an image of the beast (Satan I guess) in order that people would worship it. If we were made in the image of God then somehow the AC or FP creates something in the image of Satan. What in this sense do you think the word “image” refers to specifically?
