OK, what really happened was this:

In the beginning God got bored. So He created the Universe. BANG! It was such a bang that it's still expanding after this time. God said, "Oh, pardon me!" One may argue that He actually farted or something. This before the famous line of saying, "Let US create man in OUR own image."

So, over several days, which for God consisted of millions and millions of years to get it right (to reconcile the carbon dating thing with the whackos who think the earth is only a few thousand K old), God did bring forth the heavens, the sea, the land, la la la...then he filled them with life, and finally came to plants.

And God saw the cannabis species and found it good. Then He smoked it and found it better. Where do you think animals like giraffes and platypus came from? Not to mention penguins and kiwis...

Then, after a day-long bender, God uttered that famous line and here we are...

My understanding of the phrase that God created man in his own image is that God is a spiritual being and made man a spiritual being as well. Man just happens to be in male and female physical form.

As far as not having nipples, genitals, etc, well, God is a good planner so in creating the first human figured there'd ultimately be two sexes. Or perhaps in removing a rib decided a penis and testicles would be decent compensation?
