So using the Bible's description the animals were brought to Adam he named them and a suitable companion was sought in the animals.<BR/><BR/>(Gen 2:18 NIV) The LORD God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him." (Gen 2:19 NIV) Now the LORD God had formed out of the ground all the beasts of the field and all the birds of the air. He brought them to the man to see what he would name them; and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name. (Gen 2:20 NIV) So the man gave names to all the livestock, the birds of the air and all the beasts of the field. But for Adam no suitable helper was found. (Gen 2:21 NIV) So the LORD God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man's ribs and closed up the place with flesh.<BR/><BR/>Also remember the lesson said that the second chapter was an expansion of the first chapter and in the first chapter we read:<BR/><BR/>(Gen 1:27 NIV) So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. (Gen 1:28 NIV) God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground." (Gen 1:29 NIV) Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. (Gen 1:30 NIV) And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground--everything that has the breath of life in it--I give every green plant for food." And it was so. (Gen 1:31 NIV) God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning--the sixth day.Ron Corsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02160607058464028162noreply@blogger.com
