Prior to the fall, all animals ate grass apparently? For one to say that Genesis 1:28 NEVER happened is to call God a liar and to say you know it all. God told us this happened. He even sanctified the seventh day. You are forgetting the Sabbath. You say no, its a prophecy and hasn't happened. Whereas, Man was given dominion over the earth. Not heaven and earth. After the fall, since the introduction of sin, all of creation has been under it. Have you not read where sins were committed against the beasts and birds? Sin dramatically changed the landscape of everything, including food. In the garden, everything was all hunky dory. Sin changed that. Focus on God. Not the things of the world. Jesus will come back, I have no doubt. It helps to discern things spiritually as well. For if you look at the animals as people's attitudes, personalities, and works, it is easy to see how some people are lions, others are wolves (like for instance wolf of wall street?, wolf in sheep's clothing?), some are lambs, others sheep, etc. Hence why Jesus told Peter : Feed my lambs, Feed my sheep, Feed my sheep. In your opinion I take it, he must have been talking about literal lambs, sheep and not Christians. When Jesus is even referred to as the Lion of Judah. As I said before, lean not on your own understanding. Things that are going to happen, did happen in the past, and are going to happen again. They didn't NOT happen. I encourage you to broaden the scope a bit. Don't imagine that the prophecy signifies that day 6 never happened. Instead that it did happen and will happen again. It has happened twice already. It will happen again when he returns. He made people on day 6 (1), the other two times are spiritual , Israel (2), the church (3). Remember body, mind, soul. Three times. We are made in his image. Spiritual things are spiritually discerned.
No, it's saying that G-d did not intend for Genesis to be a history book. Perhaps you should get a different point of view. Perhaps Maimonides or Lord Jonathan Sacks.
No, it's saying that G-d never intended Genesis, and the following four books, to be a history book. Perhaps you should consider opening your mind a little by reading Maimonides and Lord Jonathon Sacks. Use your mind to think, as G-d intended.
No, because they are not fossilized, they are merely old bones, not fossils, and hence they don’t meet the deffinition since they aren’t fossils.
Except they are just bones, and not fossilized, hence don’t meet the definition of fossils.
No, you provided old bones that aren’t fossilizing, hence they don’t meet the definition of fossils.
Yet we’re they actually partially fossilized they would meet the definition of fossils. That they fail to do so, just shows they found old bones... which is exactly what they tell you they found, then tell you that those old bones are not really fossils. So their telling you partially fossilized is simply because they want them to be fossils, even when they understand they are not.
Do you even read what I post? Or do you just copy and paste it, then regurgitate your own opinion just like you did last time? So again, I see your view. You are saying that Genesis hasn't been completed yet. Which is your own private interpretation. I have provided scriptures that point to Genesis having been completed. I also have stated, that in a spiritual manner, concerning "prophecy", Genesis in way will happen again. And what is with the viruses? Why are you so hung up on nonsense? Did God not send plagues over Egypt where Israel was not affected? Didn't Jesus tell us not to rejoice because the powers that be were subject unto us? You've missed the mark. And this was a flood thread. So, deuces.
He told the truth. Parables are A simple story used to illustrate a moral or spiritual lesson
Are you sure you want to be so adamant? Are you happy to claim that the global temperature in 2000 was 0.4 degrees? And at no point in the last 2000 years has the temperature been as high as 0.6 degrees?
No, they really wouldn't. The definition of a fossil includes the requirement that they be >10,000 years old.
Because they are not >10,000 years old
Remind us - what is the "deffinition" of a fossil? Specifically, what is the age requirement?
Genesis is factually unscientific. Of course, it was not G-d's attempt to teach science, but to teach morality and ethics. Torah is not the end if inquiry, but the beginning. G-d did not give us all of the answer, but challenged us to make discoveries about His universe. Hence, He gave us minds and, for most of us, curiosity.
