We werent created in God image, we are the product of billions of years of evolution. Our similarities in makeup is evidence of this (humans and ants share most organs) and our physical image is familar to apes and early hominids, which I guess would also have to be created in or similar to Gods image. Would you consider Neanderthal to be created in God's image? Still the intelligence of animals, such as monkeys or dogs, when compared to humans is nothing in comparison between a superior being and humans.
Robots that we have now are not life, but what about a hypothetical race of intelligent, reproducing machines? And life itself is nothing more than small machines made of organic material. Interesting enough we can actually make gears out of a few atoms, even though man-made machines are nowhere near as efficient as life's mechanisms.
