Darwin Had it all Wrong

Genesis 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

Darwin had it all wrong!  The Bible declares that man was made in the image of God, after His likeness.  If you read carefully you'll notice the pronoun "Us" in the statement, "Let us make man in our image."  That little pronoun consisting of just two letters speaks volumes about the God that we serve.  He is one God manifested in three distinct personalities.  God presents Himself to us as the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit.  The Holy Trinity.  We are monotheists as Christians not polytheists.  We worship and serve one God.  The best illustration I've ever heard to describe the character of God is the illustration about water.  When we see water in its liquid form it is water.  When we see liquid in its gaseous form as steam it is still water.  When we see an ice cube in its solid form it is still water.  God is one, but manifested to us in three different fashions in the Holy Scriptures.  Praise God that we're made in His image and not the image of a monkey!

In God's Image

Gen 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

Gen 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

In these verses we see an incredible thought.  In verse 26 God said "Let us".  We see in these two Words the trinity.  The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.  All three are one God.  One God manifested in three different personalities.  How were they to make God?  In the image of God and after the likeness of God.  The God is a trinity, three parts.  Man has three parts body, soul and spirit.  We are created in the image and likeness of God.  God's command is that we have dominion over the animals of the earth.  The animals are in subjection or under our rule.  In verse 27 we see the fulfillment of the command given in verse 26.  God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

God didn't have to use some primordial ooze and some supposed spark to turn nothing into life.  God just took the dust of the earth formed it into man and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life.  Then he took a rib from the sleeping man and formed the first woman.  God who simply stepped out into nothingness and spoke the universe into existence by the power of His Word would have no problem creating man or woman.
