Why make them in your image?

Why would God and his associates create men in “our image”?  Wouldn’t it be more fun to make some cool creatures like a huge blue caterpillar with each hair a fiber optics thread with a shiny eye on the end, with a pare of hands facing opposite directions, and bunch of feet in the middle, facing opposite directions so it could walk either way, with suction cups on the soles of its feet to walk on walls…

Genesis: 3, 5, 6: Events leading up to the flood

“When men began to increase in number on the earth and daughters were born to them, the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful, and they married… “

“The Nephilim were on the earth in those days – and also afterward – when the sons of God went to the daughters of men and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown.”

These paragraphs definitely prove that God didn’t come to earth alone, but had a team of assistants from his race who looked just like him. Humans were obviously genetically engineered using their genes and that’s why they were able to mate and have healthy and heroic sons. Animals can’t produce offspring unless they belong to the same species.
