Genesis 1:26
And God said, Let (US) make man in (OUR) image, after our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
Does this mean that God and his angels made Humans?
Genesis 1:27
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him male and female created he them.

No that means that there are thee person present at the creation.
God the Father, Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit.
It was God alone that created man.

Good question. Some people say he is referring to US as the trinity as they have already told you. Some believe that the creator was not the supreme god but a demigod, some believe that it was the mother goddess but that men have left out the female goddess when they compiled the bible to substantiate the view of the bible that women were not equal to men. Some think that ancient astronauts (aliens), were the creators and were worshiped by men as gods.
One other thing that I would like to point out is that in Genesis before the flood where it says
When man started to multiply on the face of the earth and the Nephflim were on the earth before and after the flood, that the sons of god saw that the daughters of men were beautiful and took all that they wished as wives and had children with them and these children were the giants, men of old renown.
Christians will tell you that the sons of god were fallen angels that were cast to earth with Satan, but did god make angels able to have sex and procreate with human women? Didn't they all just tell you that angels are not human and God was not referring to them when he said "Create men in our image". So how can they use the fallen angel answer to answer the nephflim question but not this one?
Also, in the story of the tower of Babel, god says Let US go down and confuse their language.

When God the Father said let Us make man in Our image He was talking to the the Holy Spirt and God the Son. God did not use His angels to make man or anything else.

What you need to understand is that God is actually three distinct beings: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Ghost. That is the US that is being referred to in this verse. Angels are created beings themselves, therefore, they could not create humans.

"Let US make man in OUR image".....
first do you understand who US and OUR represents?
God is referring to Himself, the Creator; the SPIRIT, and the LIGHT we read in the opening verses of this book.
Angels are NOT God nor human. God created mankind in the image of Himself, Light(God the Son/Jesus), and Spirit(Holy Spirit). Three forms one God!!!

It means that there is a league of Gods and Yawheh is the most vain and selfish of all of them and he gets jealous when people worship the others and not him. The original Hebrews were Polytheistic.

Yes, God is the father of our spirits. The earth was created by the premortal Jesus Christ under heavenly father's direction.

He made Humans. Angels made the newborns. For when we die if we arrive in heaven, we can chose to be reborn again. Thus the saying, "another angel is born." I am not sure if this is right or not. It was what my mother once told me, just like "we chose our parents". I wish I knew what I was thinking when I did that one! ;-)

Nowhere in the bible does it say that angels created humans. God created both. He/she often used angels to speak to humans for him/her.
