LET THE EARTH BRING FORTH THE LIVING CREATURE
ACCORDING TO ITS KIND: CATTLE AND CREEPING THING
AND BEAST OF THE EARTH, EACH ACCORDING TO ITS
KIND; AND IT WAS SO.
LET US MAKE MAN IN OUR IMAGE, ACCORDING TO OUR
LIKENESS; LET THEM HAVE DOMINION OVER THE FISH OF
THE SEA, OVER THE BIRDS OF THE AIR, AND OVER THE
CATTLE, OVER ALL EARTH AND OVER EVERY CREEPING
THING THAT CREEPS ON THE EARTH.

GENESIS 1:29–30(NKJV)
This would indicate that after the dinosaurs had finished their paths of evolution, the forefront for the mammalian era was created. This also coincides with the course of evolution described in Darwinian theory, as mammals did not make their way on the world stage till a long time after the earth was created (150,000,000 years ago).
We are supposedly created in the image of our God. Since the emphasis here is on the fact that “our” is mentioned in the parable, this suggest that if God could take an image, it would be of man. Since man has dominion over all things on earth, it would make sense that this would be the image that God would take if he had a choice. Since
“our image” is emphasized, this would lead me to believe that God has multiple images or personalities and that every human being alive represents a piece or part of that “our.” Since God would be able to com-municate with and understand all people on earth, this would explain the “our image” part as the collective consciousness of people that would be at or in the source. Since we are in the image of the Creator, the Creator would be in the image of everyone (having the personalities or characteristics found in everyone and everything).
Remember that God is in all things and everything; and that the Holy Spirit is in all things living. So if man was created in the likeness of God, he went through all stages of evolution and was at one time like everything in the world (like a bird, fish, dog, pig, etc.). Because we evolved from all things or in the likeness of all things, this is the reason why man can retain control over the entire world. A man can represent the Holy Spirit, but can never be all things at once.
FOR HOW CAN A MAN BE GOD? FOR HE CANNOT BE A MAN, OR ROCK, OR THE AIR AT THE SAME TIME, ONLY GOD IS
