Man Made God In Their Image

I'd worship neither because why would the first thing in the universe look like a random organism out of the many organisms in our universe?

I agree that what people imagined of God, is only their imagination.
That's why Abdul-Baha said;
...reflect that different peoples of the world are revolving around imaginations and are worshipers of the idols of thoughts and conjectures. They are not aware of this; they consider their imaginations to be the Reality which is withdrawn from all comprehension and purified from all descriptions. They regard themselves as the people of Unity, and the others as worshipers of idols; but idols at least have a mineral existence, while the idols of thoughts and the imaginations of man are but fancies; they have not even mineral existence. Take heed ye who are endued with discernment.

It would seem that way since it seem god changes his mind as humans evolve. However it is god who is also evolving. God doesn't just pop out of thin air you know.
Something more relliable
So that each part of the image can symbolize something "I" relate to.

Or: Men make God in their image.
