I once studied this theme of resemblance in the xtian phylosophy and the teacher explained that God did creat men in his own image as in he gave him a coscience of his own just like the Creator. He can invent and create just like his Creator. Who knows God might have created men to be free and have no bonds with him because I find it difficult to think that as an omniscent being he would give his creation all these qualities and expect him to remain under his almighty care.
