When God made Adam, why did God suggest that Adam be made in their image? Adam sounds like the prototype. The first of his kind.
Sorry, the Jews who wrote the Bible never used 'folklore'. The Bible is the inspired word of God. You an unbelieving Jew are no expert on the Bible.

Prove it there isnt a single word on the Pentateuch for hell. Sheol isnt hell

The words are image and likeness which means man is potentially divine. That means he has the capacity to evolve
'Hell' is sheol in the Old Testament. And, 'Hades' in the New Testament.
The Bible consists of more than the Pentateuch. 39 Books in the Old and 27 in the New.
Do you believe your Bible, you a Jew? Do you believe your Pentateuch, you a Jew?

Means nothing of the sort. It means God created man in His image. (Gen. 1:27)
No evolution. Created in the very image of God.

Not only physical image, but mental attributes as well. We get happy, sad, angry, wrathful, disgusted, joy... So does God.
God is an exalted man. As his spirit children we are in his image and likeness and as mortals with physical bodies we are also in his image and likeness. When Jesus died and was resurrected, He took up his body which also is in the image of God and will forever immortally exist with his body. Jesus, in his resurrected and immortal state is the very express image of his Father.
Hebrews 1:1-3
1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
Jesus is the express image of the person of the Father. The Father has a right hand where Jesus sat down by his side. Adam is the first of all the spirit children of God to come to this earth and take on a physical body of flesh and bones. Jesus was the first of the spirit children of God to resurrect on this earth and as a resurrected immortal being had image of mankind as the apostles witnessed.
Luke 24:36-43
36 And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.
37 But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.
38 And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?
39 Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.
40 And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet.
41 And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat?
42 And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb.
43 And he took it, and did eat before them.
As Jesus was resurrect to have an immortal body of flesh and bones, so too will we all be resurrected and become immortal beings with bodies of flesh and bones. If this is Jesus and all of our immortal, eternal state of being, would not the Father also have an immortal body of flesh and bones the same as Jesus? Does having an immortal body of flesh and bones inhibit Jesus from fulfilling his part as being one of the godhead? I think not.
Not exactly. All human beings whether living or dead, whether a jackass or a serpent, has the power of speech.
Every creature in scripture from angels to devils and everyone in-between, whose "flesh" (teaching) is either clean or unclean; the wild beasts of the field, serpents, jackasses, cattle, teeming vermin THAT GO DOWN ON ALL FOURS, swine that DO NOT RUMINATE, parasites, maggots, vultures, sheep, goats, wolves, dogs, bottom feeders, lions and tigers and bears oh my! Not to mention creepy things that creep, are known metaphors for human archetypes in every nation, kingdom, tribe, and language, and have been ever since humans could talk.
This should clear up many mysteries.
Are you forgetting about Balaam's donkey.

In Hebrew folklore only the serpent has the power of speech and is the metaphor for guile which fits the role perfectly. The Old Testament is not the Scriptures.
The Nachash according to the definition is a metaphor for an odious human archetype who uses guile to beguile, condemned by God as the lowest of all human life forms "Lower than cattle and all the wild beasts of the field."
What good is knowing Hebrew folklore if one does not understand how it applies to reality. For instance what is a golem if not a person "possessed by a devil" or a person who has been brainwashed by a cult or talking serpent?
An automaton, a false person, for all intents and purposes is dead and under the complete control of its master.

Good on you for that one.

Jesus considered the OT to be scripture:
John 5:39 You study the Scriptures diligently because you think that in them, you have eternal life. These are the very Scriptures that testify about me.

Better check again.
The problem is that I asked. Repeatedly. Simple, basic, common sense questions. The problem is you just don't know the answers.

Just as the global scientific community is not worried about your false belief.
Yes! And this is the OT they are speaking of!! It is because Jesus was the God of the Old Testament. See my post Jehovah is Jesus
