God did not create man from the dust. God didn't do anything. 'Man' was "created" over the course of billions of years, from the first carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and hydrogen-containing molecules, via simple organisms, onwards to increasingly complex ones. It is referrred to as Evolution.

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.

How would you use the old testament to reply to someone who says that in all religions we make God in our image?

The Bible says God was in existence before man: Gen 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. and man was created in God's image. Genesis 1:26,27 Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth." So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.
