The poem entitled God said I made a Man" talks about the creation of man.

The
author of the poem Jose Garcia Villa is a brilliant poet who expressed his thoughts and
feelings in every piece of his writing. The poem is very interesting. You can notice that
the author is very inspired while writing this poem. Although it is difficult to understand, i
can pictured-out that in every lines of the poem the author tried to emphasize his true
intention in writing it.
There are different beliefs on how man exists. The one is the theory of evolution
and the other is the creationism. The origin of man has been a long subject of
human speculation. But in spite of all that has been done scientifically and
otherwise, no one has ever come up with a better explanation than creation
for the origin of man.
In recent centuries the theory of evolution has arisen, which attempts
to explain all species of life, whether plant or animal, as a product of a
gradual improvement that develops over many millions of years. The
problem with evolution, however, is that it is a theory that has yet to be
proved. With all the advantages of modern science, it has never been
possible to change one species into another; a dog never becomes a cat; a
plant never becomes a fish; and a tree never becomes a cow. In other words,
a tree remains a tree though it may vary in its structure and leaf design and
new kinds of trees can be formed, but the fact is that we have never been
able by any scientific process to change one species into another. Evolution
has no solution for the origin of life. Science never has been able to produce
life out of that which was not life. The Bible remains the simple and effective
and clear explanation of how man was created. Further, in the creation of
man he was made in the image and likeness of God as said in Gen. 1:27.
In this poem, it focuses about creationism. It talks how man exists through Gods
power. The poem's message is to praise and thank God for making us. On the first
stanza "God said I made a man out of clay" God (in the third person point of view)
begins speaking here directly to someone or something (not explained yet) and he
simply speaks a general fact that he created mankind out of clay.
But so bright he, he spun
Himself to brightest day
Till he was all shining gold, and oh,
He was handsome to behold!

These lines continue with the molding imagery as its subject, but relay it's meaning
to a simple compliment to his creation. An ordinary beings made from clay to wonderful
(handsome) creatures. I can notice that in these lines the god is so happy with his
creation.
In biblical beliefs, man is made by God out of clay. He molds us with His own
image. This means that he has the essential qualities of personality, which are
intellect or mind, sensibility or feeling, and will, that is, the ability to make
moral choices. These qualities do not exist in any creature other than man,
but they make it possible for him to have communion with God and also to
be morally responsible for his actions. God is so powerful and genius. He made us
to be a caretaker of His creatures. The Bible claims that human beings possess a
spirit. In Hebrews 4:12 the Word of God is said to penetrate human
consciousness to the point that it penetrates even to dividing soul and
spirit. In general, the word soul seems to refer to the psychological aspect
of man or his natural experience of life.
But in his hands held he a bow
Aimed at me who created him.
And I said, "Wouldst murder me
Who am thy Fountainhead!"
In this stanza, God (in first person now) is questioning why his creation would
turn against him. God's creation is turning hostile towards him. Though man in his
present humanity is sinful and comes short of what God would have him to
be and do, Christians can look forward to the time when their bodies will be
made perfect in the presence of God. Out of curiosity, man desires to
discover the concept of God to the point that he questioned if God really
exists? Christianity explains the problem in terms of divine revelation and
what took place after Adam and Eve were created. The answer to the sin
problem is that man freely chose evil and this brought sin into the human
race. God had commanded Adam and Eve, You are free to eat from any tree
in the garden; but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good
and evil, for when you eat of it you will surely die (Gen. 2:16-17). The bible
also supplies the fact that Satan, who appeared to Eve in the form of a
serpent, was evil. This implies that there was an original creation of the
angelic world and that some of the angels sinned against God and became
the demon world, led by Satan, that exists today. Scripture assumes that God
would not create evil but created a world in which there was moral choice

possible, and both angels and men chose evil instead of that which was
right.
At the end of the poem, the poet seems to approve of the necessity of thinking,
and that reason is the way to reach God. Believe in Him; Praised Him, because God is
good all the time.
Do you believe in GOD? *** You need is TRUTH, FAITH, HOPE, ETIRNITY, LOVE!
