Q.17. How did God create human beings?

A. After he had made all the other creatur es, God created humans, male and female.[1] He formed the body of man from the dust of the ground[2] and the woman from the rib of the man.[3] He endowed them with living, reasoning, and immortal souls,[4] made in his own image[5] with knowledge,[6] righteousness, and holiness.[7] God wrote his law on their hearts[8] and gave them the ability to obey it.[9] Along with dominion over the other creatures,[10] they also had the potential to fall.[11]
