Genesis 1:27 is commonly cited in discussions of human dignity because it states that humans are created:

• A. Man was created from dust by God
• B. God granted humans dominion over animals
• C. So God created man in His image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them
• D. Humans are mortal and subject to death

Answer: (C)

This item tests the idea that human dignity comes from being created in God’s image. Genesis 1:27 says that God created humans in His own image, male and female He created them. That phrasing grounds every person’s worth in their identity as image-bearers of God, not in physical form, abilities, or social roles. In bioethics discussions, this imago Dei foundation supports universal rights, respect, and protection for every person because dignity is derived from who someone is before God.

The other statements miss that basis: being formed from dust focuses on material origin rather than inherent worth; dominion over animals points to humanity’s role and responsibility, not the source of dignity itself; and mortality speaks to life status, not the reason humans have intrinsic value.
