Bible Question:
Dear Norrie, I fail to find where God created a few more things after he made Adam. What is your reference, Norrie? Man was the final creature and crown of God's creation. And what's the different order? Verse 19 of chapter 2 is not a new set of created animals. It is a reference to the animals God had already made during the days of creation. I'm sure Man already knew he was a creature without having to see God make more creatures in front of him. Peace, Lionstrong |
Bible Answer: I got this off of drdino.com http://www.drdino.com/FAQs/FAQbible1.jsp A: When I was a new Christian, someone showed me the apparent contradictions between the creation accounts in Genesis 1 and Genesis 2. According to Genesis 1, God made the trees on day three, the birds from water on day five, and the animals on day six, all before man. But Genesis 2 records the creation of trees, animals, and birds from dirt on day six, all after man. This apparent contradiction disappears when one reads in Genesis 2 that the events in that chapter describe the events regarding the creation of the items in the Garden of Eden only. God knew Satan could come and say he had created all things if Adam did not actually witness God’s creative power. God made Adam on the sixth day, put him in the garden, made some trees to grow before Adam, then made 1 more of each of the animals so that Adam could name them and select a wife. The rest of the world was already full of plants and animals from earlier in the week. It's not in the scriptures but it made sense anyway, more than having someone say the Bible has things wrong. |
