Collectively, they’re known as the Pentateuch. I’m not gonna even attempt an exposition of all that right now. I just wanna draw your attention to where Moses got a little redundant. He kept using this phrase, “according to its kind”. I think I know why…at least a couple of reasons why. See if you agree…Here’s a passage from Genesis on the third day of creation: “Then God said, “Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb that yields seed, and the fruit tree that yields fruit according to its kind, whose seed is in itself, on the earth”; and it was so. And the earth brought forth grass, the herb that yields seed according to its kind, and the tree that yields fruit, whose seed is in itself according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. So the evening and the morning were the third day.”
See what I mean? In that short passage Moses wrote “according to its kind” 3 times.
Why did he keep repeating himself. Well, one thing it’s good to remember is…he was being inspired, by God, to write what he wrote. After all, Moses wasn’t an eyewitness to the creation of the world.
And I believe it’s a not-so-subtle way of God telling us He designed things to work a certain way. Certain “kinds” of things would only produce its own “kind”. In other words, you couldn’t get a lavender plant from an apple seed. And you couldn’t oranges from corn stalks. And here’s the key takeaway…
…God’s telling us evolution doesn’t happen. Not macroevolution anyway. He’s saying “I made all these things, and I made them to work the way they work. And the way I designed them is good”. In fact…very good.
Another thing this tells me is that God’s design is dependable. We can know that if we plant corn seeds, bean seeds, and tomatoes…we’re gonna be able to get corn, beans, and tomatoes at harvest time. We don’t have to fret and wonder what’s gonna pop up.
It’s a small thing, but it’s huge because these simple words, written thousands of years ago, clearly illustrate what we see in nature. The plants, the animals, and we humans still procreate…each according to its kind.
Stay tuned…
thank you for walking in the spirit.stay powerful!
And thank you for the encouragement, David. Right back atcha!
Excellent article,Sir. Am always looking for Biblical his topic for my debates with Evolutionists on this topic. Thank You.
Sincerely,
James De Rose
Thank you James. I’m glad to help show the evolutionists the error of their ways. And I’m glad to hear you’re working on them, too. Keep it up. You never know what fruit your sowing will produce. All the best to you, Tony
All of these references along the lines of “according to their kind” precede Genesis 1:26-27, the creation of man. These plants and sea monsters and animals were all created according to their kind, not created for man. They were created for their own purposes, not to be exploited by man, except as per verse 29. In verse 28, man is explicitly given a duty to look after and care for god’s animals.
Interesting points, Adam. And I believe they’re grounded in truth. My point was to illustrate how no creatures ever magically (or mutationally) turned into other creatures.
Thank you for sharing.
