Ex Nihilo: Out of Nothing

The creation of the human race was the high point of God's creative genius. He bestowed upon them the unique characteristics of Himself by making them "in His image." Male and female reflect the characterisitcs of their Creator. God took control of creation and formed man, "Ex Nihilo," out of nothing, to take an unfinished, untamed world and direct and subdue it just as He Himself would.
