Beasts in the field? To me that means beasts in the field, not humans.

Let me read, starting in verse 24 of Genesis 1, "Then God said, 'Let the earth bring forth living creatures after their kind, cattle and creeping things and beasts of the earth after their kind, and it was so.' And God made the beasts of the earth after their kind and the cattle after their kind and everything that creeps on the ground after its kind. And God saw that it was good. Then God said, 'Let us make man in our image, according to our likeness and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.' And God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him, male and female He created them. And God blessed them and God said to them, 'Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it and rule over the fish of the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over every living thing that moves on the earth.' Then God said, 'I've given you every plant yielding seed that is on the surface of all the earth and every tree which has fruit yielding seed, it shall be food for you. And to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the sky and to everything that moves on the earth which has life, I have given every green plant for food and it was so.' And God saw all that He had made and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, a sixth day."

Now there couldn't be a more straightforward account of creation than that. It tells you exactly what God did on the sixth day. He created the land animals, dividing into three categories we find all of them...both the domestic animals indicated by the word cattle, and the more wild animals indicated by the term beasts of the earth, and then everything that walks lowly on the ground, or crawls, insects, reptiles, amphibians, rats and squirrels and etc., and etc.

Then having created that form of animal life already the day before, having created all the birds in the air and all the animals in the sea, God had completed His creation with the exception of man, finished it off as verse 26 and 27 indicates by creating man. All of that He did on the sixth day, actually a 24-hour period as indicated at the end of verse 31, an evening and a morning, a period of light and a period of darkness...that is to say one revolution of the earth.

Now the enemies of God and the enemies of the Bible have denied this revealed Word from God. They have claimed that man has evolved over millions and billions of years. And that modern man is the result of mutation. Modern man is the result of some...some random and yet self-willed genetic transformation. Man is the product of the survival of the fittest. That is not what the Word of God says. What I just read you couldn't be more clear. It is also reiterated in the second chapter verse 7, "The Lord God formed man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and man became a living being." And down in verse 19, "Out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field, every bird of the sky, brought them to the man to see what he would call them. Whatever the man called a living creature that was his name. And the man gave names to all the cattle, to the birds of the sky, to every beast of the field, but for Adam there was not found a helper suitable for him. So the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon man, he slept then He took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh at that place and the Lord God fashioned into a woman the rib which He had taken from the man and brought her to the man."

There you have the creation of woman. In both cases, the creation of man, the creation of woman, is a direct and immediate creative act of God. Over in chapter 5 of Genesis, the fifth chapter begins, "This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day when God created man He made him in the likeness of God. He created them male and female and He blessed them and named them man in the day when they were created." Repeatedly it says there was a day when God created man both male and female.

That is what the Bible says.
