The second creation account is recorded in Genesis 2. This account focuses on the creation of man and the unique position in which he stands. Man was created in God’s own image.
“And God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him, male and female He created them.” (Genesis 1:27)
This probably means that man shares some important characteristics of God. We suspect that this includes the capacity to have manifestation and communication in both the spiritual and physical universes. In this account we learn of the “Garden of Eden” and the fruit-bearing trees placed there to supply food for man and the animal kingdom. We find two additional trees in the “garden” which are spiritual in nature. These are the “Tree of Life” and the “Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil”.
