Such idolatry of any natural body on earth being made as God's image, also leads to foolish questions, such as the Godhead must include a woman, if in whose image women are made bodily.
And if indeed man's body is the image and shape of God, then we see the shape of God all around us, and in the mirror.
And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.
When the Bible says man and woman are created and made in His image, He is speaking of spiritual beings on earth, even as the angels in heaven, who are also called the sons of God.
And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth:
When the Bible shows the Lord fashioning and shaping the body of man, it is of the same stuff as all natural creatures on earth made by the Lord. It is only the shapes that are different, with men and women being unique in physical stature and appearance.
Man begets children in man's own image, the same as antelopes beget children in antelope form and shape. But all flesh is the same in natural mortality, just as grass.
The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field:
This is why idolizing the likeness of man or antelopes as the image and shape of the eternal God, is called idolatry in the Bible.
