The origin of man is within the realm of science, while the creation of man is an alternative hypothesis within the realm of religion.

Science tells us that man originated by evolution from more primitive ancestors, millions of years ago.

Many religions have stories about the creation of man. The abrahamic account, taught by Judaism, Christianity and Islam, is that God created man a few thousand years ago.

What is the explanation for the creation of man?

The Bible contains one creation account of the creation of man. Following the usual practice of the ancients (as confirmed by other non-biblical documents), the author of Genesis includes the creation of man under the creation of the whole universe and world in the general account in Genesis 1:1 through 2:4a. The specific statement relating to the creation of man is as follows:Genesis 1:26-28 26And 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. 27So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. 28And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.This general statement contains the decision to make man (male and female) as well as the position which man is to hold in respect to the rest of creation which has just been described as having been made. Thus, although also a creation, man has a position of dominion, which of course also includes the idea of responsibility to care for the creation of which he is head. The second part of the creation account from 2:4b to 25 contains both specific details about man's creation as well as the 'context' into which man was placed. Thus, the general statement in Genesis 1 is given more 'meat' as the specific formation of man from the dust of the ground is described, as well as the fashioning of woman, in the last creative act, out of man. Although (as in the rest of the creation) there are a great many details left undescribed, which man, in exercising his dominion is still discovering today, the essence is there. Firstly that man's constituent parts are the same elements of which this earth consists. Secondly, that man did not evolve over millions of years but was, like the rest of creation a specific creation of God. Even further to this, God used a much more 'hands on' approach with man, in line with man's importance to God and man's importance in carrying out the 'dominion mandate' as the head of creation. Genesis 2:7 7And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. The creation of woman is also intended as a statement of her importance - the creation was incomplete, as was the man Adam, until she came along. This chapter also contains the institution of marriage and indicates that man, being both male and female, is a relational being, not just in terms of his sexuality, but interpersonal relationship where like can relate to like, something the animal world can never supply. Thus woman is 'meet' or fitting, rather than being an inferior being. Genesis 2:18-2418And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.19And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof. 20And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him. 21And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; 22And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.23And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. 24Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. It is also quite clear that the Bible account excludes the coming into existence of man through any process of evolution. God created man through no other process than His own personal intervention and intent. Amazingly complex order, as we also know through the laws of science today, did not come about by evolution, nor could it. It is also clear that the Bible intends to explain the place of man in the world and the relation of man to woman and them both under God as His creation.
