Graven image, in the specific translation you noted, means something which is a sacred representation of a supernatural force (such as a deity). Remember that the Bible was not written in English, and in translation often loses a great deal of the context and subtle nuance of language. In particular, idiom and connotation are frequently not easily transliterated, and such is specifically the case here. Your driver's License example is faulty in extreme. Christianity and Islam also accept much of the core elements of later books than Genesis, and it is there that you find that, yes, indeed, while God did make Adam and Eve in the buff, he did it in a location that was not harmful to them -- Eden. Within Eden, they dwelt primarily in the Garden -- a nice, neat, park like setting that approached the sterile in some respects. Once they were cast out of that Garden, they were required to wear clothing to protect themselves from the ravages of the world and to remind them of that original sin by God. So that argument is fallacious as well. Tsk tsk. Religion, perversion, science, philosophy, history, art, sex, drugs, and rock and roll. I am definitely going to hang around and mock this place more often. Even my regular haunts aren't this entertaining.
