Gurbani does not subscribe to the theory of Genesis as mentioned in Bible.
The preamble (mool mantra) of Guru Granth Sahib, clearly states One Creator is “Akaal Moorat.” This means the Creator’s moorat (shape) is timeless.
At the same time, Creator is “Ajooni.” Which means he does not take birth.
Since he is “Karta Purakh.” He himself is the creator and resides in his creation.
The entire Creation, living or non-living, is His creation.
It is against Gurbani to limit his shape to that of man.
For more details. Kindly check this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IaqS8gnzb8s&t=5s
Akal Purkh has created all sorts of living beings depending upon His Hukam and system.
Only human beings have got analysing power and can be in tune with Him by adopting the qualities of Akal Purkh with the help of Gurbani written in Guru Granth Sahib.
