Wow, Genesis Chapter 1 gets right down to business in line one. In the span of a few short days, God creates heaven and earth, day and night, land and seas, sun and moon, plants and, uh, more plants. All that and we're just now getting to the fourth day. Then he creates fish and fowl and every living creature that moveth. And God saw that it was good. Very good, I'd say.
Day five brings the cattle and "every thing that creepeth" which includes man. God creates man "in his own image." I thought the female was fashioned out of the male's rib, but that's not happening here in Genesis Chapter 1. That version must appear later on? Here, we have "male and female created he them" and God instructs them to be fruitful, multiply, replenish the earth, subdue it, have dominion over fish, fowl and every living thing. Just eat the plants though. Adam and Eve were the original vegetarians.
Chapter 1 ends with day six. Pretty speedy work there, God
