Blogging the Bible Genesis 1 PART 6 'The 6th Day'

It's been a while since I wrote a 'Blogging the Bible'. So I'm going to start now.

And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so. And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
--- Genesis 1:24-25, KJV

I bet that Evolutionist Biblical-literalists will love this verse. However, it's just an interpretation.

And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
--- Genesis 1:26-27, KJV

What! This doesn't make sense. Why make humans the master species? Why make a master species in the first place? Why make more than one species in the first place? How can man and woman BOTH be from God's image? They look similar in some respects, different in others.

God must work in mysterious ways.
And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.
--- Genesis 1:28-30, KJV

God! You shouldn't give my species domain over all animals. We do a bad (and selfish) job of it. Get another species to it!

And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
--- Genesis 1:31

God sees his creation good, however, what about the bad things in the world? God created germs and called them good.

Well I'm done.
