Who created humans?
Upvote:3
According to the Christian Bible, and general Christian belief, God created Man in his image and likeness. First Adam and then Eve. This is clearly stated in the Book of Genesis. (The Christian Bible does not address, nor does it need to account for, Hindu belief. That is for Hindu sacred texts to address).
The accounts in Genesis happened a long time ago: a bit over six thousand years ago if one accepts some Young Earth Creationist positions, 10-12,000 years ago according to others, or "a long time ago" according to most Christians. Your "2000 years ago" for humans being created by God is an incorrect assertion about Christian belief. (It was about 2000 years ago that Jesus was born, lived, and died).
Genesis Book 1:
26 Then God said: "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. Let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, and the cattle, and over all the wild animals and all the creatures that crawl on the ground." 27 God created man in his image; in the divine image he created him; male and female he created them. 28 God blessed them, saying: "Be fertile and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it. Have dominion over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, and all the living things that move on the earth." 29 God also said: "See, I give you every seed-bearing plant all over the earth and every tree that has seed-bearing fruit on it to be your food; 30 and to all the animals of the land, all the birds of the air, and all the living creatures that crawl on the ground, I give all the green plants for food." 31 God looked at everything he had made, and he found it very good. Evening came, and morning followed - the sixth day
Genesis 2
7 the LORD God formed man out of the clay of the ground and blew into his nostrils the breath of life, and so man became a living being. 8 Then the LORD God planted a garden in Eden, in the east, and he placed there the man whom he had formed. {snip} 21 So the LORD God cast a deep sleep on the man, and while he was asleep, he took out one of his ribs and closed up its place with flesh. 22 The LORD God then built up into a woman the rib that he had taken from the man. When he brought her to the man, 23 the man said: "This one, at last, is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; This one shall be called 'woman,' for out of 'her man' this one has been taken." 24 That is why a man leaves his father and mother and clings to his wife, and the two of them become one body. 25 The man and his wife were both naked, yet they felt no shame.
While ejected from the Garden for disobedience, they did obey an earlier instruction to be fruitful and multiply.
Genesis Book 4
1 The man had relations with his wife Eve, and she conceived and bore Cain, saying, "I have produced a man with the help of the LORD." 2 Next she bore his brother Abel. Abel became a keeper of flocks, and Cain a tiller of the soil.
