Many Christians I've spoken with on this topic maintain the "the image of god" does not refer to physical characteristics, but rather to the "spirit". A convenient dodge in my book, but then...
Well, the Bible says that man and woman were both made in the image of God. If we were going on physical characteristics...well, don't think too hard on it.

But seriously. I think physical attributions are an oversimplification. God is way beyond the corporeal.



Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm; for love is as strong as death, its jealousy unyielding as the grave. It burns like blazing fire, like a mighty flame. -- Song 8:6
