Back in Genesis 1:20 God caused "the seas to swarm with living creatures", in 1:21 He "created the great sea monsters." Then in 2:19, He brought earth and sky creatures to Adam for names, but the text does not mention the sea creatures getting named. So........did God take Adam on a field trip to name the whales? Would the edge of the Garden of Eden extend to the ocean "back in the day?" Did the whales line up like so many biological yachts and get named? Did Adam say, "OK, that one's on that side so we'll call it the right whale, that one over there is the left whale, those two will be the blue and the white because they're so pretty colored, that one's got a hump back so we'll call him Quasimodo, and so forth? Just WHY then would he have chosen sperm whale for one of the big fellows?!! ;p
Well, before this gets out of control, I'm gonna go read my copy of that modern Christian classic, Porpoise Driven Life and put together my Xmas Puppies jigsaw puzzle.
Got oil lamp?
