Jesus Christ, assisted by a host of the noble and great ones, acting under the direction of Elohim, his Father, was the creator of worlds without number. When Christ speaks of man’s creation (see, for example, Isaiah 45:12; Ether 3:15-6; D&C 93:10), he is speaking in behalf of the Father.
“When it came to placing man on earth,” Elder Bruce R. McConkie has written, “there was a change in Creators. That is, the Father himself became personally involved. All things were created by the Son, using the power delegated by the Father, except man. In the spirit and again in the flesh, man was created by the Father. There was no delegation of authority where the crowning creature of creation was concerned. ” (Promised Messiah, p. 62; see also New Witness, p. 63.)
