Everything that follows Genesis is God's directive to USE that brain properly; He's telling us how to discipline our minds to make morally correct decisions which lead to morally correct behavior which pleases Him, and THAT is the advent of humanity.

Actually, the rest of the Book shows we CAN'T 'use our brain' properly; thus the need for a Savior.

"Actually, the rest of the Book shows we CAN'T 'use our brain' properly"

That's not true. Matthew 5:48
"Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect." God is telling folks here that they can use the gift of reason that was given in Gen 1. Nothing had ever changed since man was created in the image and likeness of God.
