The original phrase was that man was created in the essence, or of the essence, of God. Because of the way translations work, this later became man was created in the 'likeness' of God (if things have a similar essence, then they are alike). Again, as people translated the words to better understand their contextuality in the society which they existed, and because of the way society interpreted likeness to mean physically, the phrase became man was created in the image of God.

The Image of God...In Gen. Chapter one God says let us create man in our Image. Father,Son and Holy Spirit. Gen Chapter 2 explains Man was formed from the dust and God breathed in his spirit and the two became a living soul. Man was created in the image of God having a body and spirit and the two became a living soul. Different from the animals that have no spirit and perish with their flesh.

Because the image refers to the spirit to which we all have are one and the same. On the otherhand, The physical body to which our spirit(the one made in the image of God) inhabited comes in variant form. So to speak, the image refers to us is the one which is alive and conscious and not the physical body we possess in one life time.

Well, we all have two arms. Two legs. A torso. A head. Eyes. Mouth. Nose.
Since God is a male we have a whatchumacallit (Yahoo standards). Since women was made from man, she has a thingamabob (Yahoo standards).
As to the belly button. We'll have to wait for end of times and ask Jesus to see God so we can ask about that one.

This does not refer to the physical body but the spiritual and intellectual beings. God created us to think and be good as He is and that is what is meant by His image and likeness. remember God is not a physical being but a spiritual being. In spirit we are all the same but not physical. That is why the Bible says that in Paradise we shall wear the immortal spiritual body and not the physical body that is corruptible, prone to death and can rot. God is more concerned with our spirituality and not our mortality.

Because God is a being who's looks we can not even begin to comprehend. Too many people place human logic to questions that only God can know the answers to.

When He said make man in our image. He was referring to spirituality. Not physical form.

Go and read Genesis, we are not created in the image of God.Let us make man in our image and after our likeness males and females etc. it was done.Later He plants a garden and there is no one to till the soil, so He forms Adam out of dust,
We are descendants of Adam,Also please read, after He created all the males and females to fill the earth ,He saw that it was good. He does not say that after he makes Adam.
