Man is created before the birds and beasts. All fowls that fly are made out of the waters. The Fowls of the air are made out of the ground. Man is created in the image of god. Man is made out of the dust of the ground.
Man is made lord of the whole earth.
Man is merely placed in the garden to dress it and keep it. Man and woman are created together, as the closing and completing work of the whole creation. Man is created first, then beasts and birds are, which are named by man. Finally, the woman is made out of a rib of the man. Orthodox Christians claim that both of these stories must be believed, even though they contradict each other at numerous points.
