Not necessarily. If God has eyes (two, I assume, in the front of his head),
can I sneak up behind it? Wouldn't that limit his omniscience? And wouldn't
only having a couple of hundered billion neurons severely limit its
knowledge and ability?

Obviously, it doesn't make sense if one replaces the "image" with "physical
analogue". In fact, I don't think any major sects believe that God is
physical in the sense we come to understand it, so the whole "in his image"
business needs a deeper understanding (if you are religious) or is simply
just another nonsense (if not). Either way, the premise you start with is
not valid.
