So God created by or through Jesus. Jesus was the living Word through whom God spoke the worlds into existence. He was the One who made man from the dust of the earth. The Biblical account of creation reveals progress and climax. Progress can be seen in the increase of personal attention God gave in His creative work.
Man is thus a special and distinctive creation, the climax, and to man is given dominion.
All this evidence of sequence, balance, correspondence, progress, and climax shows careful, intelligent planning. That God created by plan absolutely rules out any idea that part of creation came into being by mere chance. It is evident that God carried out His plan in distinct steps. This is indicated by the mention of succeeding days in Creation and by the mention of the evening and morning. Genesis 2, instead of being another creation record as some claim, is an amplification of activity not mentioned in Genesis 1.
