Genesis 1 is a beautiful scripture about the creation and just how awesome God is. There appear to be two creation stories: Genesis 1 and Genesis 2. Genesis 1 speaks of both male and female being created in the image of God. Since God is spirit then the first male and female created are spirit. Genesis 2 says man was formed from the dust of the ground and God breathed into his nostrils and he became living. Then God performed the first surgery, putting man under, and opening his side and taking a rib and creating Eve, which I think there is something to be learned here for the medical community. That's a whole different topic. But Genesis 2 appears to be the second creation because Genesis 2:4 says these are the generations (plural) of the heavens and earth when they were created and made. Finally, in Genesis 1 everything was not only good but very good. It's not until the physical man was created in Genesis 2 that they were told this is good and that is bad. But I think the both Genesis stories teach us where we originated spiritually and physically and all the way in revelations it tells of another creation where those who survive Genesis 2 will become like Genesis 1 again where all things will be very good.
