Genesis 1:27

So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
  1. Following His plan to do so, God and those working with him created man in God's image.
  2. The term "man" here apparently is like the term "human", since it incorporates both the male and female gender.
  3. Earth is apparently not the only location where human-like beings exist. (This pertains more to the previous verse, but it just occurred to me.) This must be true since humans on the earth were created after the image of others (see verse 26) who already existed. To what extent we are alike is not clear from these two short verses, but at a minimum we look very similar.
