Have you ever wondered why God waited until the last day to make humans? Were we less important than the trees and the fleas? were we just a last minute idea? not by a long shot! God was saving the best 'til last. in verse 26 in Genesis Chapter 1, "Let us make man in our image...and let them rule.. over all the earth." because we're made in God's image, we have a super special place in creation. the rest of the world is here for us to enjoy.hey! how much better does it get? but it's not all free ride. God gave us strong bodies for reason. he made us physical beings, put us here on a cool planet, but then made us responsible for looking after it. that responsibility begins with our bodies- keeping them healthy and strong- and includes caring for our families, backyards, cities and countries.

i dont hold high regards on todays bible, which has been modified so much,
to worship it, especially the american version is not accurate. i believe in a god
to support the morals in todays bible, i do not tho, believe in all the stories and all the people
since these things are easily manipulated through time.

perfect example, i somewhat can believe that god created the cat so noah can lower mice population.
but the way the hebrew said he created it is somewhat unbelievable, its written that god made a lion sneeze
creating the cat. who knows but i bet the original version didt explain how god created the cat.
and someone through time added the lion sneezed part.

I doubt if God made the cat to go after the rats. If, indeed, it was that way, we would have no rats now since there ancestors were supposedly annihilated inside Noah's Ark. What I believe is, every animal that survived the Great Flood were meant to live and exist until today. Everything has its purpose and it is but normal to have varied versions of the bible because we are a diverse race. What is important is, we keep acknowledging that we need God, however we may perceive Him, because of our innate desire to be good and not succumbed to what is pleasurable yet not admirable.
