god created man in his own image
The interpretation behind that statement is not really a huge contention with Christians because God himself is seen as a metaphysical sort of deity allowing the verse to be an open interpretation rather than one they are forced to accept literally. When it comes to Christianity, I always found Genesis 2:7 to be a harder struggle than Genesis 1:27 for Christians trying to compromise between a scientific and a religious approach to the beginning of mankind.
Some Bible Wrote:Then the LORD God formed man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.
