I find it interesting that during each step of the way thus far in Creation, God “saw it was good.” Yet, when He creates mankind, there is no indication that His final creation was declared “good.” A couple verses later, mankind is included in the whole of Creation being declared “very good,” but they were not called “good” in an of themselves as the other steps of creation were. This seems to raise questions as to the nature of this step of creation.

DL,
the comment has nothing to do about God not touching man, it has to do with God creating man outside of himself. The reference is to a painting.

Both female and male are then God like.
Equality is good.
Neither need submit to the other.

Zorek
If a comment is allowed here let me say that if God cannot touch man then He cannot be our God.
King of lions is a lion.
King of monkeys is a monkey.
King of man must be a man.
That man if untouched by God is just another animal.

Regards
DL

On the ceiling of the Sistine chapel in Rome there are the tremendous frescoes by Michelangelo. Among them is that magnificent picture of the creation of man. God is reaching out his finger and man, having just been created, reaches to him as well. But their fingers do not touch. This is true Christian insight. Man is not an extension of God, cut off like a reproducing amoeba. God created man external to himself, and they must not touch in the picture. However, this point must be made: That which is created out of nothing and now has objective reality, does show forth the thought of God and is therefore an exhibition of who and what he is. The external world is not an extension of the essense of God,; nevertheless, the external world does reveal and exhibit who and what God is.
