The Sixth Day

"And God said, “Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: the livestock, the creatures that move along the ground, and the wild animals, each according to its kind.” And it was so. God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.  Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”  So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.  God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.”  Then God said, “I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds in the sky and all the creatures that move along the ground—everything that has the breath of life in it—I give every green plant for food.” And it was so.  God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day."
Genesis 1:24-31

The most exciting chapter of creation was the sixth day. Here our heavenly Father made the rest of the created beings, everything else not called forth into existence in the first five installments of creation and then on the sixth episode He made us, in His own image.

This is the only time, He said "let us make". All of His previous creations were just called out or "let there be".

Also we are the only ones who are created in His likeness and the only ones He blessed so that we may rule over every creation. And yes, male and female, He created us.

And when He was done creating us, He not only said it was good, but He said, it was "very good". Muy bien. Sehr gut. Erg goed. Molto bene. Cālā man̄ci. Nalla. Napakabuti. Totemo yoi. Aju joh-eun. Très bon. Maikaʻi loa.

And it was evening and it was morning.
