Yesterday I tried to enter the blogosphere and was entangled in cyber-netting much like the poor old right whale literally (should that be litter-ally, since it was trash in the ocean?) was off the Georgia coast that I read about on some news site. I thought, the designation of that fellow was right whale. Does that mean, since we never hear of them, all the left whales have been hunted to extinction? Or is right whale the female designation and wrong whale her mate? ;p
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?
