Ok, so what if god likes to change shape, originally he might have loked something like a monkey, but now looks like how we look now. So...
That, my friends is called a middle-ground.

I used to ask my x mother in law about this. I used to wonder if it was possible that her god modernize his way of thinking. She basically told me no. So i asked her this she believes that women shouldn't wear pants because they are taking a mans place by doing so. So i questioned about the weather if he god was a loving god wouldn't he want a woman to be warm and give her a pants for the winter months. She lives by the bible literally. I mentioned that were the bible took place it is fairly warm they don't see much snow so how could her God just say ok all women were dresses and no matter how cold your legs get they will be black and blue with frost bite before i allow you to have pants on. So basically i don't think those that are real religious here will ever think that god changes

God doesn't change, but how society follows God does change. If a woman looking manly is wrong, that may not change, but whether or not she looks manly by wearing pants does change. Now it's commonplace for girls to wear jeans, so it's absurd to say there's anything wrong with that just because it makes her look manly.
And the same goes for men with long hair. It's not feminine anymore, so it's not "disgraceful" anymore. Just because the Jews of Jesus's time had a certain dress code doesn't mean we have to conform to it.

As far i can see, so would god be just a person that have us in a little model landscape or something, and as long as he ages, he changes like much as we do. If god exists, would that be a resonable explenation to me. That god is just a person.

If you believe in God, there is absolutely no reason to believe He changes shape. This is because the largest argument for God is that He exists in a spiritual plane, not a physical plane. And a non-physical plane would not contain qualities consistant with the physical, like "shapes". God would be shapeless there.

I don't really get what you are trying to say. But here's what I THINK you are saying; god created us in his image, and as he evolves, so do we. Is that right? Because, since we came from single celled prokaryotes, that means in your scenario that god too, was once a single-celled prokaryote. Single celled prokaryotes are not capable of intelligent thought on our level, and surely not capable of designing the universe, allocating the resources, and then putting it together. If you want a middle ground it has to make sense for both sides, and this doesn't fit within the scientific framework.
