AMPLIFIED 2015 | Genesis 3:1 Now the serpent was more crafty (subtle, skilled in deceit) than any living creature of the field which the LORD God had made. And the serpent (Satan) said to the woman, "Can it really be that God has said, 'You shall not eat from any tree of the garden'?" [Rev 12:9-11] |
Subject: Animal Intelligence Isn't Rational |
Bible Note: It is completely absurd that one would think an animal as crafty as the one described in Genysis3:1, who was more crafty than any beast of the lord God had made, isnt rational. If this was the case, why is evil and satan brought up so much. Someone as evil and manipulative as satan would be out of business by now if he relied on irrtional animals or any other beings to carry out his evil tasks. This is only a question, I am not a "christian" by any means, though I am not an atheist. I am only asking these questions in an attempt to learn. Please do not reply with quotations from the bible. I do not mean to offend, but I would like to hear rational common sense answers. |
