If they were, they would have got things a bit more accurate. Especially the bit about us being in his image. Belly button aside, evolution and our knowledge of it settled that score to the point where creationists do religions no favours as religions get embroiled in the ridicule that causes people to laugh at young earth creationists and their absurd excuses for their ridiculous stance.
