    Let me answer a quick Bible "contradiction" as posted by whendog

    "GE 1:24-27 Animals were created before man was created.
    GE 2:7, 19 Man was created before animals were created."

    Reading on from Genesis 1:24 God created animals first, then created Adam, then took a rest. Genesis 2:18 is the lead up to the creation of Eve. Genesis 2:19 in NIV quotes "Now the Lord God had formed out of the ground all of beasts of the field..." the key word here is the fifth one, "had". Translated as accurate as possible from Hebrew it is the recapping that it was God who created the animals. This is a reiteration of what was already written earlier in Genesis.

    Make sense? All these questions can be answered, but I encourage you to seek on your own. If there was more time in the day I would do it for you :)
