Did God make man in his image or did man make God in his image?
Clearly the standard answer from the Bible and most other historical and literary sources is that God made man in His image. However the wording of the question, and the fact that the author failed to capitalize "god" though it was used as a name, indicates that this person most likely disagrees with this answer and is instead raising a philosophical question. In other words, is God real, or did we make him up? (the questioner is clearly interested in the existence of the monotheistic God of Christianity, Judaism, or Islam, etc..., as the question refers to "god" in the singular and uses a familiar biblical phrase) It certainly sounds like a reasonable hypothesis to say that humans could have made up a god to suit their needs; Needs for security, purpose, love, immortality. Of course most people throughout history and today, both educated and not so, have concluded that this hypothesis is incorrect. One cannot say this with scientific certainty, but one also cannot support this hypothesis with scientific certainty. In the end this question has been argued in one form or another for most of human history. A wiki answer will hardly be capable of touching on more than a small sliver of the evidence, which would not do justice to the question. Good luck in your search.
What is the Greek meaning of image of God or likeness of God?
God uses figures of speech throughout the bible to call attenention to what is important. If the ground was dry you could say 'the ground is dry' which would be fine. If you wanted to call attention to the sentence you would say 'the ground is thirsty'. This is a figure of speech. An image is representation of something greater (i.e. a picture of the rocky mountains is a represenation of something greater) and is used as a figure of speech. John 4:24 says 'God is spirit'. The 'image' of God is spirit. In the begining God formed man's body out of the dust of the earth. He formed our body because the earth was already created. He made man a soul, which is breath life, because a soul was already created (Gen 1:21). He created them in His image, which is spirit. When the bible says 'God created man and woman in His image' He means He created man and woman to have a spirit, which is the image of God. I encourage you to read Genisis chapter 1 and see for yourself the defitnitions of formed, made, and created.
Is God internal or external to man?
God is internal to man. He does not exist outside the mind of man. Actually, nothing exists outside the mind of man. But of course the answer to this question will vary according to your religion and beliefs. Some will even say that the question does not make sense, as they believe that God does not exist.
Is a woman created by Adam in his right ribs?
According to the Bible Eve became the mother of everone living. Genesis 3: 20 reads that Adam named his wife Eve, because she was to become the mother of everyone living. Acts 17: 26 reads: "And he made ( God made) out of one man every nation of men to dwell on the entire surface of the earth. Genesis 2: 18 reads: " Then Jehovah God said: " It is not good for man to continue to be alone. I am going to make a helper for him, as a complement of him. Genesis 2: 21, 22 shows that: " Jehovah God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep, and while he was sleeping, he took one of his ribs and then closed up the flesh over its place. And Jehovah God built the rib that he had taken from the man into a woman, and he brought her to the man. Genesis 2: 23 shows Adam's reaction in these words. " This is at last bone of my bones And flesh of my flesh. This one will be called Woman. Because from man she was taken." So to answer your question, which is: " Is a woman created by Adam in his right ribs? First of all the Bible teaches in Genesis 2: 22 that the woman was built with the rib that God had taken from the man. (Rib and not ribs) The Bible does not say which side of Adam the rib was taken from. But we can say that all nations were created by one man, as confirmed in Acts 17: 26, but Jehovah created all things, confirmed in Revelation 4: 11.

The Great Barrier Reef is a giant coral reef. It is basically a large collection of aragonite structures produced by living organisms. In a sense, it is neither man made nor God made.
