This is a question for theologians, philosophers and biblical scholars. It's not for grammarians. But let me ask you a few questions arising from the grammar of this sentence.

Good question. If you get the answer, you will be the first person in history to know for sure what that means. I was thinking about this very thing the other day after watching Planet Earth, and I think it means that *** is an alimentary tube. But I am sure that's a minority opinion.

book bee 913In the Bible it says, *** created man in his own image. Does it mean man just looks like him or he's exactly like him in shape and form?

I have no idea. But Michelangelo, the Italian artist, did. And this is what he imagined.

Some people say this is more evidence of the ancient astronaut theory.

It seems to me that it's the other way around.

It could be a misprint or a mistranslation.
