While I know there are arguments against the Bible, I also note that the order Moses describes creation is in harmony with some of what evolutionists purport, namely that first came water animals (fish and the like), and then came land dwellers. So my question to those who fully believe in evolution rather than God's power to cause/create lifeforms, how did Moses know the sequence of events unless God gave him this knowledge? Doesn't seem to me Moses or anyone living at that time could figure it out by themselves, i.e., without knowledge from God just by looking.
no, it’s not.
I have noticed that you have conveniently left out the part that the same verses in Genesis 1:20-22, God created birds at the very same time as he had created marine life.
And that would mean birds were created before land animals (1:24-25), so you are ignoring that too.
The matter of birds being created at the same time as fishes, and birds being created before creation of land animals - are both wrong, in the natural life timeline.
And again in 1:24-25, it says God not only created land animals - both wild and domesticated (and the verses only mentioned “cattle” as domesticated, it say nothing about pigs, sheep, goats and poultry) - were created at the same time. Dividing animals into wild and ”cattle” (domesticated), being created at the same time are also wrong.
Humans, not God, started domestication of animals for food, when they started living in permanent settlements (farmlands, villages or towns), and started agricultural farming - sowing crops and vegetables in the fields. Domestication of bovines (oxen, cow, hence cattle), pigs, sheep & goats, and fowls (poultry), these farm animals were grown on farms, as substitutes for hunting wild games as they did during the Palaeolithic periods (prior to 11,600 years ago).
Permanent settlements, agricultural farming and domestication of animals for food were the result of Neolithic Revolution, when the last glacial period ended (Ice Age) in the Pleistocene epoch, around 11,600 years ago.
During the Pleistocene glacial periods, the Palaeolithic humans lived a nomadic lifestyle of that of hunter-and-gatherer cultures for hundreds of thousands of years. These nomadic hunters followed wild animals that seek water source to water source. Although large region, south of the ice sheets, were never covered by high ice sheets, the climate were still colder and very dry, dry enough that most places suffered very long droughts. That’s why farming and liv permanently in one spot for generations weren’t possible, as water were too scarce to support agriculture.
if you don’t understand human history, then you will never learn the cultures of prehistoric times. You certainly cannot learn much from the Bible, as Genesis is just myth.
