I listened to a Genesis podcast a while back by Dr. Robert M Price. It was a fascinating subject, as is the Bible as a whole actually. One thing that intrigued me most was the theory among some critical scholars (and one that Dr. Price supports) that the words "..let us make man in our image..." refers to a pantheon of gods and goddesses since the following text reveals the creation of the man and woman.
He didn't stick too long on that, but my question, to any of you more educated folks on the subject, is who could the early Jewish writers have been referring to when they had "God" speak to the other deities.
He also considers other instances of referring to oneself in the plural in the Bible, but he says that they do not disprove the polytheistic interpretation.
