"So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them." (Genesis 27-30).
In Genesis, an alternative creation to the evolution of mankind is explained. Through God's power, he created the 7 days of the week, each day dedicated to specific aspects of our world- water, animals, land. But this statement above goes against Darwins idea of evolution, stating that God created mankind to his liking and preference, his own "image" of what the world was supposed to look like. I also find the idea of "male and female" interesting. Not only because male comes first, foreshadowing the patriarchal society we live in, but also because before this statement, the only creations God had made were of nature.
