Well, the Bible is pretty clear that
man was created in the image of God..
Here's a neat palor trick. I'm sure you're familiar w/ the Tetragrammaton, the 4-letter name of God (Yahweh) found in the Old Testament?
One way to write in Hebrew is from right-to-left (opposite from how you read in the Latin languages), which is how I wrote it above. Another valid way is to write from top-to-bottom.
Try that w/ the Tetragrammaton:
What you get (if you use your imagination a little bit) is a "stick figure" of a man(!) The Yud is the head, the first He are the arms, the Vav is the torso, and the second He are the legs..
It's just a parlor trick of course.... but... you can also say that man (in some sense) is created in the image of God(!) :-P
