People mistake being "made in God's image" to mean the human body, when it is actually talking about the spirit.
John 4:24
(KJV)
24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
If you notice, "man" was created in the first chapter of Genesis but Adam was created in the second. Which would seem like a contradiction except that what it is actually saying is that all mankind (all of us) was created in spirit form, then he made Adam, the first flesh and blood man.
I was a christian for most of my life, and I studied to become a minister, so I know full well what is meant about "god's image". I'm just making a point about how a perfect god can make something imperfect.
