Gen 1:27 And God created man in His image; in the image of God He created him. He created them male and female.

The hebrew word for man is ADAM. Notice that God did not just create, but God MADE man and woman.

Now notice chapter 5 Gen 5:1 This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, he made him in the likeness of God.

God created Adam....man, he MADE him in the likeness of God

Chapter 2 is simply the 6th day in detail

Hi Prax,So what are you saying ? Man lookes like God ? If so I don't agree.Man was made in the image of God in his likeness because the one man and woman he created or made or formed spirit like himself.It don't say how many he created either of other men women.Yes Adam was the first he created but not the only ones.He called their names Adam,not just man.He also created other sons of man as well as forming sons of God.

Where did you find man meant Adam ? Gen.5:[2] Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created. The name "ADAM" (aw-dawm') in Hebrew means a "ruddy human being" (Strong's O.T. #120). It is derived from Strong's O.T. #119 - ADAM (aw-dam'), which means "to show blood (in the face), i.e. flush or turn rosy.



Chapter 2 is not the sixth day in detail.Chapter one is the creation and chapter two is the formation.Formation in the Hebrew means to take something all ready created and form it.So God took Adam and animals from the natural creation and formed them and placed it in the garden.Also he created the trees in the third day not the sixth.

God said let US make man in OUR image.Who is this US and OUR.US and OUR is more then one.
