I have done some studying on this "Man created in Gods Image" thing lately and have come to the conclusion, along with the rest of my study group that this DOES NOT mean we look somewhat like God. Thinking about it it is fairly obvious that we probably DON'T. "Looking like" anything humans can relate to is likely out of the realm of the divine.

What we have determined through our discussion and study of scripture is that in the area of our soul and our potential for goodness as beings is where we find our likeness to our heavenly father - our souls being what God cares for and how God would see us. Looking at it as though we do look similar to God creates images of God, something we are definitely warned against. Our thinking we look like God is likely to be a big mistake. We can not compare to God in any way other than our remote chance of having a small bit of the goodness that God posseses in infinite quantity.

We are created in the image and the likeness of God. It’s a mystery.
