Where does Genesis say God created man?

Answer 1

God created man in:

1. Genesis 1:26 - both male and female, in his own image.
   
2. Genesis 2:7 (male), then Genesis 2:22 (female). In this case, man was made from dirt, and woman in the image of man.
   
3. Genesis 5:1-2 - both male and female. This could be looked on as a summary repeat of Genesis 2:7,22, but some biblical scholars say that it is really a third creation story.

Answer 2

Generally speaking then, Genesis 1, presents God's acts of creation in outline fashion. The intent is to provide a panoramic view of God's creative activity - as if the readers themselves are standing in the midst of it all happening. The creation of man occurs on the sixth day, but there is nothing stated about the manner of God's pinnacle of His physical creation or how the creation of men and women are related in time or nature. Hence in Genesis 2, God's specific acts in creating man are detailed, thus providing a focus on the events of the sixth day. There is no difference in the sequencing of the events of the creation days, only an expansion of the details of the central creature - man on the sixth day. Lastly, Genesis 5 lists the genealogy of Adam.
