God created the soul of man in His image, not the body of man.
The image of the invisible God is the soul, and neither God nor the soul of man, can be seen with the naked eye.
The image of God is Spirit, and so is the soul of man. The soul of man is not natural flesh and blood, that cannot inherit the invisible kingdom of God.
All paganism of man begins with the lie, that the body of man is God's image: Anthropomorphism, which the Greeks and Romans worshipped in style.
It makes the image of the invisible God into the idolatry of the physical body:
Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
This also produces the natural theology, that the soul of man is only natural flesh and blood: Mortal soul theology.
It's worse than the natural man, that simply rejects the truth of God the Creator, because it is the pseudo-wisdom of theology, that turns the truth of the eternal Word, into a lie of mortal creatures.
