Genesis 2

Genesis 2:

2:2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made
** I am really surprised that God needed to rest. If he needed a rest, then there is a physical limitation limitation to how long he can work. I find this more comical than anything, after all, this IS God we are talking about.

And God Said:
2:17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
** However, Adam ate from the tree of knowledge and yet he didn't die. In fact he lived for another 930 years or so. I f I can geat from that tree and die....in 930 years, then sign me up! ounds like more of a reward than a punishment, however we have to keep in mind that in The Bible people seem to live longer than we have ever seen (Which is initself a totally different blog post).

2:19 And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.
**So, Adam named ALL of the living creatures on Earth. Amazing! and, Impossible! Current estimates of the total number of species on Earth range from 5 to 30 million, of which, the 2005 Millennium Ecosystem Assessment notes approximately 2 million have been formally described.
But animals were not created instantaneously from the ground, but evolved over millions of years. And we still don't have names for all of them. Ten thousand new species of insects are discovered and named each year!

Genesis (2:4-25) "These are the generations"**The second creation account. Compare with Genesis 1:1-2:3 in which the order of events is entirely different.

 Had this book been written by the hand of man, guided by an all knowing God; we wiouldn't see these mistakes in Genesis. It would be a perfect account backed fully by science and reason.
