In what ways is man like God?

Please elaborate on your response, as the given choices are necessarily generic.

A few passages from Genesis that deserve special consideration:

1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

3:22 And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:
3:23 Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.
3:24 So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.

    Depending on the version of God an individual accepts, humans are like God in a few ways. Both have the ability to create and to destroy. Both have the ability to bring wrath on their enemies. I can't speak to any religious belief besides my own, but I believe that God is a uniquely individual entity that manifests himself/herself in a different way for each person.

    I do believe we are created in the image of God, and that's all I can really say.

    I find it hard to say, I think we'll know when we die. I don't really believe in the bible, its pages are man made and the people that decided what to put in were Roman pagans. That's history my friends, look it up.

    God is just that, God and is as incapable of being human as humans are of being God. People who conduct their lives and deeds based upon the inspiring "touch" of God are just that, inspired by God. For instance, just because a young parent has been inspired to parent their child like their parents parented them does not make the young parent like their parents, just inspired by their parents.
