Bible Question:
Why did God take UNCLEAN animals into The Ark? If God wanted to cleanse the earth, whilst saving Noah, why not take CLEAN animals only? |
Bible Answer: I can't think of any scriptures to support my position but I'll take a chance and respond. The only reason I can think that God would create so many creatures that He knew his Isrealite children couldn't eat is the fact He knew the future. He knew there would be a time in the future that the rest of the world would be able to do so. Personaly, I like to think that the tremendous variety of life on this planet shows once again that only a God like ours could have done it with design and forethought in stark contrast to the happenstance of evolution. Just look at the wonderful things about our own body we take for granted. Compare that to the omidirection eye of that one lizard, whose species name I can't recall and the amazing sticky feet of the geecko. Scientists still don't quite understand all the wonderful aspects of that creature and can't adequately explain how his feet evolved that way. There's so many wonderful things about our Lord's creation. I must admit, I look forward to finding out all about these mysteries and more in heaven. How about you?
