Who was the first man created?

Answer 1

A:

Genesis 1:26-27 says that God simply spoke the first man and woman into existence, just as he had already spoken the sun, moon, stars, plants and animals into existence, as the last act of creation.

The second creation account in Genesis, at 2:7, says that God created the first man out of dirt, as the first act of creation. Apparently God was unable to create living things out of nothing, so he then created the animals out of dirt and, finally, the first woman out of Adam's rib.

Science says we evolved slowly from our hominid ancestors and there was no single generation at which we could say this was the first modern man. Therefore, strictly speaking, there was no one "first man".

Another answer:

Unless modern society's public schools have changed, the teaching in science class is the same as when I went... which broke the composition of man down very simply. They asked "what is man made of?" To which, the answer was simply: "DIRT." I think in my day they elaborated a little, to say, "About 25 per-cent dirt and 75 per-cent water," or something like that.

Anyway... The Bible is in total agreement on this assessment:

"And the LORD formed a man's body from the dust of the ground and breathed into it the breath of life. And man became a living person." (Gen.2:7 NLT New Living Translation)

Granted... this is, no doubt, an over-simplification, also, on God's part in His inspired description of it -- but even after a few thousand years of man's existence; man still marvels over the amazing complexities of the design of all the different components of the human body, internal and external. Too marvelous for man's finite mind to grasp, as to how it all came about.

Due to man's lack of Faith in the Eternity of God, however... he has chosen, instead, to trust in that which his mortal eyes can see [i.e. that which God has made]... and chooses, instead, to place his faith in the "accidental eternity of matter."

But, the Divinely-revealed Word of God is in agreement with modern science. Man is DIRT. God molded the first man out of the earth and brought it to life; which makes man "living dirt."

"...you will return to the ground from which you came. For YOU WERE MADE FROM DUST, and TO THE DUST YOU WILL RETURN." (Gen.3:19 NLT)

As for "how God did it"... we can only imagine it from our own experiences in this life regarding how man "makes things." Because God has given to man, created in His own image, a "spark of His creativity" through the "spirit in man" [see Zech.12:1] and man's inherent talents and, dare we say it, seeming "genius."

Modern business manufacturers establish "research and development" [R&D] facilities to come up with ideas for products. It's this kind of "ideating" that mankind has functioned, dreamed, planned, designed and implemented the things he has made throughout his generations. And we can only "imagine" with our finite minds, that God did something quite similar when He envisioned the creation of the universe and all of creation [including man] within it.

We can make things out of the clay of the earth... but we just don't know how to "bring it to life!" And neither can we imagine "how" God made the clay He molded and formed on the sixth day LIVE.

Once again, science tells us that "life comes from pre-existing life."

In evolution that means the first man wasn't "created"... but accidentally evolved into existence from "unthinking, accidental eternal matter" along with all the other complexities in the universe. Perfect order and design "blew into existence" without a lawgiver or designer.

In the Bible that means "a desiging, planning, life-giving, law-giving, universe-sustaining, prayer-answering, eternally existing Creator God" made it all.

So, until He returns to earth with clouds as His prophecies say He will... the finite, easily-deceived human mind of man will have to continue "wondering how" God made the first man. The good thing is, God only made two; a man and a woman... male and female... God made sex. He gave them the ability to make all the rest of mankind [to help Him out, as it were]:

"God blessed them and told them, 'Multiply and fill the earth and subdue it...'" (Gen.1:28 NLT).

Man has lost the knowledge of how God made the first man... if he ever knew. Did Adam really know HOW God made him, other than His telling him in so many words: "...you were made from dust..."?

The only thing man can know about "how" man is made, is through the human birth process. Mankind has been making people for generations through the ingeniously designed human birth process. And although science can tell us all about the intricacies of creating a human being... all the whys and hows of it... no one can say "how" the first one was made.

Science has even tried to create life in test tubes... unsuccessfully.

So, we're stuck with the first "law" of biogenics; that "life comes from pre-existing life." We know the "how" of it from obeserving the human birth process. But "how" the first man came into existence is left to only two possible sources: The Ever-living, Life-giving Eternal Creator God of the Bible... or the accidental eternity of matter itself.

Whichever one you choose to "believe"... they both require the application of "Faith."

Answer 2

It is unknown who created the first person. Some Religions believe that the first person was created by a God or other deity is one way or another. While Scientists believe generally that humans evolved from previous animals that somewhat resembled humans and as such but were not created but evolved.

Answer 3

There are two different stories of the creation of man in the Book of Genesis, so the Bible gives us a choice:

• Genesis 1:26-27 says that God simply spoke the first man and woman into existence, just as he had already spoken the sun, moon, stars, plants and animals into existence, as the last act of creation.
• The second creation account in Genesis, at 2:7, says that God created the first man out of dirt, as the first act of creation. Apparently God was unable to create living things out of nothing, so he then created the animals out of dirt and, finally, the first woman out of Adam's rib.

As for what really happened, science says we evolved slowly from our hominid ancestors and there was no single generation at which we could say this was the first modern man. Therefore, strictly speaking, there was no one "first man".
