Genesis tells us that man was created in God’s own image, but what does this really mean? God gave man dominion over everything that moves on the earth. So in one way man is made in the image of god because he is the overall ruling figure and most “god-like” of all the creatures. So man is made in God’s image because we are most like him on earth. This raises questions about if man has a right to rule over the earth or not, and this issue has become more prevalent in today’s society. 5 In Genesis 1 everything is created in just six days. God creates everything by simply saying what he wants there to be, and then it is. Man is created the very last and is given dominion over everything that God had previously created. Genesis 1 gives us almost as many questions as it answers, and sometimes we do not always get the answers to these
