Two Extremes - Genesis Chapter Uno

I titled this post, “Two Extremes” because Genesis one talks about Creation vs. Evolution.

Verses 11 and 12: God makes the plants.
“Then God said, ‘Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds.’ And it was so. The land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.”

Did you notice anything interesting in those verses? The little phrase “according to their kinds.” What that means is an apple tree only produces apples, and apple seeds, and a pear tree only produces pears and pear seeds. Same thing with bushes, grass, flowers; whatever plant you want. There are many different types of apples, but notice, they’re still apples. there are many different types of grass, but its still grass. Not something in between.

Verses 20 and 21: God makes the fish and birds.
“And God said, ‘Let the water teen with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the expanse of the sky.’ So God created the great creatures of the sea and every living and moving thing with which the water teems, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.”

Same thing here, “according to their kinds”, sharks are sharks, whales are whales, sweetish fish are still sweetish fish.

Verses 24 and 25: God makes the land animals.
“And God said, ‘Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: livestock, creatures that move along the ground, and wild animals, each according to its kind.’ And it was so. God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the earth according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good."


Wow, and if you didn’t get that already, God made all the animals ACCORDING TO THEIR KINDS. I mean, he said it five times in two verses. I think he means it! So next time some text book written by MAN tells you that you came from a monkey, tell them “DUDE!! GOD said that he made monkeys ACCORDING TO THEIR KIND. And though there are lots of different types of monkeys, they’re still monkeys.

Keep it extreme,
I'M OUT
