One would also have to assume that he had opposable digits on his feet, and a tail, seeing as how humanity evolved from primates.

I think that He is tremendously obese, that's why he must stay in hiding. If you study the "History of Civilization" on this planet you will learn that for thousands of years, God was always considered to be a woman, called Goddess. Around the time that Judaism got it's start God was changed into a man (everyone was told to now believe that God was a man). That's when sectarian violence got its start.

No!
It is written: God is a spirit (John 4:24). and if God is a spirit, then that is His "likeness".
It is written: "Let us make man in our image".
What is an image? it is a reflection of an original
We have a spirit, and that is what is in the image of God. We cannot see God, and we cannot see our spirit. but, we know it is there....
You are looking at it in the physical sense, and God is not in the physical sense.... It is not the body.... The body will perish... God is eternal and our spirit is eternal, lest He decides to destroy the body and the spirit within us.....
Which is why, we are not to worship anything made with the hands..... Please see John 4:24......

I don't interpret like others do. I believe it means he created us
in his image because we are the only living things on Earth who can manipulate the Creation into suiting our needs. Like the computer, shoes, stove, and other things. We create things for a specific purpose. No other living thing on Earth can do that. It doesn't mean we look like him, God isn't even matter or mass. He is something we can't imagine.

that's what the bible makers wanted to imply. that we look like god... not just the spirit... they didnt know that that was supposed to be a flaw... and then came christians... that gave the "in our own image" a different non-literal meaning.

Well wouldn't one go further and say that we look like god if we are made in His likeness?
So that would mean he would have everything we have but godlike!

Being "made in his likeness" isn't neccessarily skin deep.
