The solar system including earth and its contents, such as human beings, animals, and plants, are perfectly created by God. He creates this life without any mistakes. He divides his creatures into two categories; those that are living and those that are dead. Humans and plants, both are living organism. One thing that distinguishes human beings from other creatures is humans have a brain. With this surplus, humans are able to think, differentiate right from wrong, and create. An example of humanity’s ability to create can be seen in literary works, such as poetry, novel, prose, and drama.
