Genesis 1:27 - period. End of discussion, right?
Well... Not quite. :-)
Genesis 1:27 - So God created man in his [own] image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
Are you positive that it was not the image of perception (i.e. how we perceive this universe with wonder etc)? Or possibly evolution is God's image? Just two of many interpretations I can come up with.
Biblical interpretation is murkier than some may think.
Genesis 1: [27]So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them."
Not quite the end, actually. In Genesis 1:27 man is created on the sixth day. In Genesis 2:7 he creates man again. This is after the 7th day.
Genesis 2:
[1] Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
[2] And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.

[7] And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
