I started reading the bible from Genesis chapter 1, and found this interesting. According to the Bible, specifically the book of Genesis, man was created on the sixth day of creation. Here’s how it unfolds: Genesis 1:26–31 (NIV)Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness…”…So God created mankind in his…
