Ok, I questioned a Rabbi about this subject. He stated that Gen 1:26
("Let US make...")refers to God conferring with the angels as a
courtesy to them during the "planning stage" for man's creation.
However the actual creation of man in 1:27 is done singularly by God,
as only He can do. Makes sense to me! Case closed.

Sure He has. In your worldview it's called "free will".

We aren't discussing our view at the moment. We are critiquing yours.
In your worldview, free will is the gun that causes death and
destruction -- the gun that you said that you would not give to the
person you knew would misuse it. Yet your god does. Why?
