You either:
1) believe in evolution, in which case my point above about humans evolving intelligence as a tool for, among other things, hunting, is correct = you lose.
2) Are, as you said, a creationist Christian. The part of the Bible about animals being created "for" humans is an integral part of the story of creation. Animals are for humans, eating them is ok = you lose.
You said yourself you do not believe in evolution because you are "the C word". That puts you in option 2. If you don't believe what it "says" about animals (i.e. the story of creation) and you don't believe evolution (making you, among other things, clueless), what is it? |
Ok, hopefully I can make this clear for you...
The Bible was written by MEN, not God. Back then, animals were considered 'property' and for us to use. Back then, peoeple were quite sexist, men, men, men, men....blah blah blah. That was hundreds of years ago, and in the Bible people wrote that way because thats what was 'common sense' back then.
Back then, we had to eat animals to live. We now don't have to. I think God would like us change with the times.
Question: Would you rely on a 100 yo book on how to set up an aquarium? My best guess is you would say no, since many things have changed in the aquarium world since then. The sucky thing is, the Bible wont get updated. Its stuck back then, and we can't rely on it for every thought or opinion we create.
