If God created us in his image, does this mean He has all the design flaws we do?

Question

Here's a few examples... (source: http://www.youdebate.com/cgi-bin/scarecrow/topic.cgi?forum=3&topic=833 )

Retinal arteries/veins lying on and in front of the retina of the eyes. Many causes of blindness come from this defective design. (Is God blind?  maybe that's why He doesn't see all the suffering in the world)

Larynx too highly placed, leading to common choking deaths. (Maybe Nietzsche was right- God could be dead!)

Knees similarly are not strong enough with the tibial cartilage in two legs for human weight, jumping down, and running. If we had 4 legs it would not be so bad. How often do you see cats with knee problems? (Can God create a rock so heavy He cannot lift it?  Yes, because His knees couldn't handle the stress of lifting it.)

Appendix is a seemingly useless relic of evolution that often gets infected and ruptures in a life threatening peritonitis unless removed quickly. (It seems like bad news bears if God got appendicitis.)

What about the Laryngeal nerve?  Is God's as ridiculous as ours?  It starts in the brain, then runs all the way down into the chest, loops around the heart, and comes all the way back up the larynx.  Does God's do that too?

Anything is possible simply because you can know not everything. However, for me it’s not practical to believe in god because there is not enough evidence (none in fact). This practicality allows me to live my life in a full, content and moral way. I am free from the religious dogma and absolutes that create immorality and unnecessary suffering. This practicality of evidence, also allows me to reject the notion that Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, Unicorns, Leprechauns and Little Green Martians from Mars exists as well. I have read the Bible and Koran and are continually shocked at god’s thirst for violence, self-glorification, unashamed ethnic cleansing and the promotion of rough justice. God urges his followers on to do more and more harm. Both books are plain weird and should come with warning stickers (one day, the law will catch up to these books and ban them). If god did really exist, then I for one, would stand opposed at this most vile and hurtful supernatural force.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but the physical is not what God meant when He said He created us in His image.  We are created in His image in terms of mind, intellect, emotions, creativity and so much more.
