"We can pretty much assume that Adam lived for a considerable amount of time before he sinned. There is, however, no reason to think that animals
didn't die before he sinned. "
We can also assume that Adam sinned on day one and that no animals died before that. There's no reason not to. |

Genesis 2:19, 20 indicates that Adam named all of the animals as they were brought to him, and he lived for an indeterminate amount of time before he had a helper in Eve. You think that all of the things that happened from Genesis 2:7 to the end of that chapter happened in one day? And you think the creationists are nuts! C'mon, man, pull yourself together! |

Daystar wrote:If God can create the Earth in seven days, then I see no reason why Adam could not name them all in one day. Sure, he is human, but technically, Peter walks on water with Jesus in the New Testament, so naming every animal in one day seems like something believable from a Biblical standpoint. Plus, using "dying animals" as a justification doesn't really aid your point any when God specifically says that the animals only serve the purpose to serve man anyway. So seeing animals die would probably be like losing a completely expendable candy bar. |

Dave doesn't believe that "day" is a literal meaning.
One ought never to turn one's back on a threatened danger and try to run away from it. If you do that, you will double
the danger. But if you meet it promptly and without flinching, you will reduce the danger by half. Sir Winston

Hey, its a biblical day!
You know, one of those ones that lasts as long as its convenient for interpretation. You use it that way all the time so why shouldn't I? |
