Man was to improve the physical earth as God gave it to him, finishing his creation. Humans were to tend and to keep it, not as owners but as stewards. For God's ultimate supreme purpose was reproducing himself-of recreating himself. His greatest creation, humans, were to be divine characters who would become members of God's own family.
Then we ask, "Why does He want to reproduce himself?" My answer is, "Why not?" He created the world and everything in it. He is supreme in everything and nothing would exist if it was not because he spoke and made it come into existence. Did you not ever built something or made something that was unique and truly yours and not copied or reproduce from somebody else? Why did you create something unique? Was it not part because you want it to express yourself, the part of you that you would like others to see? Why does an artist paint, or a writer writes? So, you see is not that difficult to understand.
