Bible Question:
I was reading on another web site where someone asked the questions about dinosaurs. And the answer was they were before Adam and Eve and they gave Gen 1 :1,2. I was told years ago that there was life before Adam and Eve (Dinosaurs) when God created man in his own image Gen 1:27 then in Gen 1:28 he said be fruitful and multiply and REPLENISH the earth. I was told that God wanted to redo it over again. I know that everyone have there own translation of the bible, could anyone give me there thoughts on replensih and do you believe that life was before Adam and Eve? Science states that Dinosaurs are millions of millions years old and we know after Christ it is 2004 years. Be bless and thanks in advance for all your input. |
Bible Answer: Hello 8788, 1) The word "replenish" is more literally translated "fill" or "fill up". If you had a dictionary of 17th century English words, you might know whether or not the KJV translators used the best word. In modern English, the word "fill" is correct. 2) The idea of life before Gen 1:2 is called the Gap Theory. God created a world in Gen 1:1; Satan made it waste when he fell; God starts again in Gen 1:2. I think it's garbage. The plain reading of Gen 1 and 2 is perfectly good for me. 3) We know dinosaurs lived with men because they are described in Job 40:15-24 and Job 41:1-8. Steve |
