the concept made in his image doesn't necessarely mean antropomorphism, the concept comes from john 1.1 and is because God is identified as a the primordial logos this means the primordial logic that created the universe, so humans also have logos meaning we have the capacity for logic and to create

this view means that conciousness/logos is a characteristic of the universe itself and is not an emergent characteristics, is intrinsic to the universe this doesn't necessarely mean that a rock can think but that conciousness is chararcteristic of the universe kinda like my brain is a characteristic of me but my fingers do not think, that kind of deal.

on the other hand the concept of the nephilim from genesis 6 does have a double meaning more anthropomorphic (the "giants", the "men of renown" matting with the daugthers of men) this view is still puzzling because it basically implies extraterrestial beings creating the human race, this account comes from ancient sumer the oldest known civilization none the less...and even more puzzling is that this flood story is basically a retaling of the atlantis tale to the point that the atlanteans/atlas are the "giants" the "men of renown"

generally this giants are considered angels
