My question I ponder about is… did God create Man in his own image/likeness or did Man create God in their image/likeness. All these “why would God” questions infer God is just a super human… I think I usually lean towards Man creates God in Man’s image… so I think that’s the false dilemma.

Many men have created "gods" in their own image, resulting in nothing but deficiently inferior fictions. I think your observation that this results in false dilemmas is insightful.
In contrast to man's notion of god(s), King Jesus, the God of the Bible, transcends all the gods of man's imagination. In John's major book, the very first thing we learn is that Jesus is the Creator of every last thing that has been made. And in the first chapter of Hebrews, far outstripping the most fantastic fantasy I've ever read, God is contemplated reconstructing the entire cosmos as easily and swiftly as you or I might change jackets.
Thanks for chiming in.🙏🏻😄
