How long ago man was created?

Answer 1

Answer: One aspect is Man was created by clay as our father Adam{A.S}.

AnswerMany religions have explanations as to how man was created. In the abrahamic religions, God created man out of moist clay. Zoroastrianism says that Ahura Mazda created man. In Daoism, P'an Ku created the substance of all things. According to Hinduism, Brahma created the world and all the people in it. And so on.

The scientific explanation is less metaphysical. Our species was created when earlier species evolved to become modern man.

AnswerThrough evolution, just Google the theory of evolution.

Answer 2

There are different opinions about this; you'll have to make up your mind what you want to believe. The opinions include:

* No god whatsoever was involved. The usual explanation is "evolution".

* God created humans (and other creatures) in a sort of miracle act - quite suddenly, where there was no life before.

* You could also believe in a sort of combination of the two above points, in the sense that evolution was the method used by God to create living beings.

Answer 3

The narrative of Divine Creation, which is contained in Genesis ch.1 and 2, briefly describes how God created us, by fashioning soil and then breathing a soul into it. This teaches us that God exists, that our lives and the world are not random, and that the created things may be assumed to contain vast wisdom in their beautiful and purposeful design. (In recent decades, this wisdom has indeed been partially revealed, through increasingly powerful microscopes.)See also:

Answer 4

To make man, God fashioned the appropriate shape from dirt and breathed a soul into it (Genesis ch.2). He then made the first woman by fashioning her from a piece of the man's flesh (ibid).

Day by day, God created the universe and its contents (Genesis ch.1).God created the universe out of nothing (Exodus 20:11, Isaiah 40:28; Rashi commentary to Genesis 1:14; Maimonides' "Guide," 2:30).Note that the Torah, in describing the Creation, deliberately employs brevity and ellipsis, just as it does in many other topics. See the Talmud, Hagigah 11b.

• On day 1: God created the universe in general, light, and this Earth. The light was not the same as that of the sun. Rather, it was light that God created before the sun, and which emanated from a point in space without any physical source; like what we might term a "white hole."
  
• On day 2: God created the separation between the Earth and the upper atmosphere.
  
• On day 3: God separated the continents from the oceans, and created plants.
  
• On day 4: God created the sun, moon, and stars.
  
• On day 5: God created birds and fish.
  
• On day 6: God created animals and people.
  
• On day 7: God ceased creating, thereby creating the concept of rest.

Seeing God's wisdom

The Torah states that it was written in its entirety by one author, Moses (Deuteronomy 31:24), to whom it was dictated by God (Exodus 24:12), including earlier events.
The Torah has one creation-narrative, which takes the form of a summary (Genesis ch.1) followed by an in-depth recap (Rashi commentary, Genesis 2:8).
When we see a newspaper whose opening headline is paraphrased in the detailed story, we don't ascribe the repetition to different writers.

But this kind of literary device, which the Torah employs to enrich its text, has been used by Bible-critics in an attempt to reassign and divide up its authorship.

The Jewish sages, based on ancient tradition, identified many of the literary devices used by the Torah, which include:

- recapping earlier brief passages to elucidate,

- employing different names of God to signify His various attributes,

- using apparent changes or redundancies to allude to additional unstated details,

- speaking in the vernacular that was current during each era,

and many more. While Judaism has always seen the Torah as an intricate tapestry that nonetheless had one Divine source, some modern authors such as Wellhausen (the father of modern Biblical-criticism, 1844-1918) have suggested artificially attributing the narrative to several unknown authors, despite the Torah's explicit statement as to its provenance (Exodus 24:12, Deuteronomy 31:24). This need not concern believers, since his claims have been debunked one by one, as archaeology and other disciplines have demonstrated the integrity of the Torah. No fragments have ever been found that would support his Documentary Hypothesis, which remains nothing more than an arbitrary claim:

Answer 5

In the first creation story of Genesis (Genesis 1:1-2:4a), God simply spoke humans into existence as his last act of creation.

In the second, more primitive creation story of Genesis (Genesis 2:4b-25), God's powers were more limited and he could not make living things out of nothing. As his first act of creation, God fashioned the man (Adam) out of moist earth and breathed life into him. After then creating all the beasts out of moist earth, God completed his creation by fashioning the woman (Eve) out of a rib taken from Adam.
