The creation of man and woman is God's greatest work. He put his
image and likeness to us. He created us with everything we
needed; food, shelter, and all the comfort we needed. We have the
power to rule this land, take care of it, and preserve it for
future generations. We people forgot that we were once nothing
before we turned into what we are now. We desire more, forget to
be fair and take advantage of other people's weaknesses. Even
with a different story, it shows God's greatest work is us.

everything while walking in the land. Genesis provided this
information which helped us to strengthen our faith. God created this
universe for six days and rested on the seventh, which we call the
Sabbath day or the day of the rest. There are different stories about
God. There are 12 Gods in Greek mythology and 12 in Roman. Every
religion has its own God, with other names and additional images, but
our faith is the only thing that matters.
