So, today I mostly have questions........ The first is Gen 1:24 "And God said, ' Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: livestock,creatures that move upon the ground, wild animals, each according to it's kind." (NIV) So,if I were standing there as this happened...what would I see.....would the earth boil and roll and begin to birth out all of the different animals? What a sight that would have been....watching the birth of each animal species.....rising up out of the mud, covered still in their muddy placenta's. Wallowing around for a bit, walking down to the water for their first birth bath. Cleaning themselves off, and helping each other wash the last of the earth off. I am not saying that is what happened...I am just saying ....what if?
My second question is verse 29 "...'I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food." Just wondering if anyone has cataloged every tree on the face of the earth (I think so).....and do we eat ALL of them as food, or could we? Are there poisonous trees? and have they always been that way?
Last verse 30 " And to all of the beasts of the earth and the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground---everything that has the breath of life in it----I give every green plant for food. And it was so."
Ok so here I am wondering about carnivorous animals.....is that just due to evolution and sin in the world? Should they all really be eating just green plants? Should we?
Someone once said "if you can answer a question with just one word it wasn't a very good question" Hopefully the questions here can create a dialogue for you....
Peace,
