Someone said, "Marble temples are not made of mud and manure." A thoughtful and creative architect builds them with precious materials.
Human beings are much more complex and fragile than any building you can think of. Psalm 139:14 in the Christians' Holy Bible says,
"Thank you (God) for making me so wonderfully complex! It is amazing to think about. Your workmanship is marvelous -- how well I know it."
How much more an intelligent and powerful Creator is required to create a living man!
Suppose you were an architect and you want to build a beautiful building. Before you embark on the project, you will make sure you have enough money to complete the project, you have your blue print, all the materials and machinery, the labor, water, electricity and gas connections and many more.
I do not rule out few explosions, I mean "pre-planned, controlled explosions" created by an intelligent being. When everything is ready, you may use some controlled explosions to level the ground and lay a strong foundation, before you start on the building proper.
Explosion by itself cannot produce life and sustain it. It could help you in the preparation stage. Even to create an explosion you have to gather explosive materials, which in turn need some intelligent being behind it. Without providing the basic needs for survival the human being will die instantly upon creation due to suffocation.
Therefore, before creating Man, adequate preparations should be made taking into account all his basic and extended needs.
So, let us consider what are some basic human needs for survival?
He needs a place to live, light to see, air to breath, water to drink, comfortable environment, companionship, food, family, friends, a community etc., ability to communicate with each other in order to lead a happy and peaceful life.
As I read the Creation Story recorded Genesis chapters 1 and 2 in the Christian's Holy Bible, I discovered something amazing. It clearly records the preparations that God made before He created the 'First Man'. It is worth reading. I am sure you will be surprised too.
How did God prepare the ground for the Creation of man with his future needs in view?
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth (Genesis 1:1).
Heavens: For Himself and for the Human race to live together eternally. Bible says, "And God has reserved for His children the priceless gift of eternal life ; it is kept in heaven for you..." (1 Peter 1:4). Earth: For our temporary abode, to prepare men spiritually ready for Heaven. Bible says, "And the Lord God planted a garden toward the east in Eden; and there He placed the man whom He had formed" (Genesis 2:8).
Then God said, 'Let there be light,' and there was light (Genesis 1:3).
Light: For man to see and marvel at the great creations of God. Bible says, "The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hand" (Psalms 19:1). Day: for us to work. Jesus says, "As long as it is day, we must do the work of him who sent me" (John 9:4). Night: for us to rest. Jesus says, "Night is coming, when no one can work" (John 9:4).
God saw that the light was good, and He separated the light from the darkness. God called the light 'day,' and the darkness he called 'night'. And there was evening, and there was morning -- the first day (Genesis 1:4-5).
And God said, 'Let there be an expanse between the waters to separate water from water.' So God made the expanse and separated the water under the expanse from the water above it. And it was so. God called the expanse 'sky'. And there was evening, and there was morning -- the second day (Genesis 1:6-8).
This provides man with fresh air to breath and live.
And God said, 'Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear.' And it was so. God called the dry ground 'land,' and the gathered waters he called 'seas.' And God saw that it was good (Genesis 1:9-10).
This is to spread out and build dwelling places for the future generations.
Then God said, 'Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds. And it was so. The land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good (Genesis 1:11-12).
To sustain the oxygen level and food supply for him and for the future generations. Bible says, "Now the LORD God had planted a garden in the east, in Eden; and there he put the man he had formed... The LORD God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it" (Genesis 2:8,15). This garden provides the man, animals and birds with tasty fruits to enjoy to sustain life.
And God said, 'Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark seasons and days and years. And let them be lights in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth.' And it was so.
God made two great lights -- the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light govern the night. He also made the Stars. God set them in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth, to govern the day and the night, and to separate light from darkness. And God saw that it was good. And there was evening, and there was morning -- the fourth day. And so it was (Genesis 1:14-19).
"The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands" (Psalm 19:1). This was to further beautify the environment and provide seasonal supply of crops to make life more pleasant and enjoyable to His creations. And for man to exclaim and proclaim the marvelous handy works of God.
And God said, 'Let the water teem with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the expanse of the sky.' So God created the great creatures of the sea and every living and moving thing with which the water teems, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. God blessed them and said, 'Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the water in the seas, and let the birds increase on the earth.' And there was evening, and there was morning -- the fifth day.
And God said, 'Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: livestock, creatures that move along the ground, and wild animals, each according to its kind.' And it was so. 'God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good (Genesis 1:20-25).
To sustain the food supply, oxygen and carbon dioxide and other gases, to meet need of the expected population explosion of human beings, animals and plants.
God first created the full grown man and woman, the birds and the plants with reproductive organs and seeds in them and the cycle started to reproduce and multiply in every species.
As you were reading, you might have noticed the words:
God said, "Let there be and it happened."
God created them all by the Words of His Mouth. That is how powerful God's Words are. He can destroy or create anything by the Words of his mouth.
Now that the preparation stage is completed, God proceeded with the creation of the First Man. How did God create the First Man?
Only after creating the basic survival needs of all future population increases of all the species are in place, God proceeded the creation of the First Man. Isn't that Amazing! Isn't God wise and genius?
Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them" (Genesis 1:26-27).
...the Lord God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being (Genesis 2:7).
This body is only suitable to live on earth. Bible says, "...for the dust you are and to the dust you return" (Genesis 3:19). Spirit could live on earth in the body, as well as in heaven with God for eternity.
Bible says, "Then we who are still alive and remain on earth will be caught up with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air and remain with Him forever" (1 Thessalonians 4:17).
God named the Man 'Adam' (Genesis 2:19).
God also creates a mate for the man Adam.
to be a mate and to populate the world.
The LORD God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him." (Genesis 2:18)
So the LORD God caused Adam to fall into a deep sleep and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man's ribs and closed up the place with flesh. Then the LORD God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man (Genesis 2:21-22).
Adam called her 'Eve', because she was the mother of all living (Genesis 3:20).
Therefore, the whole human race originated from Adam & Eve.
Then God blessed them, and God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth" (Genesis 2:18).
Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh (Genesis 2:24).
With all the self-reproducing, life sustaining things created by God in place, the First Man and his descendants could live comfortably generation after generation even to this day and forever.
The Heavens proclaim His righteousness and all the peoples see His glory" (Psalm 97:6).
Therefore, without any hesitation, we can conclude that the First Man was the creation of an intelligent, caring, loving, Almighty God. There is only one Creator God for the whole human race.
Then you may be asking: Why are there so many races and languages in the world?
