Why did God make Whale Sharks, that get to be 45 feet long, 45,000 pounds, but are filter feeders and do not prey on flesh of the sea, like , say, a carnivorous Great White shark does do ? Can you imagine IF a Whale shark was a carnivore, that it would bump into ships to flip them over and eat man? Hmmmmmmm. Or, yummmm, oooh, no, green, that is sooo unappetizing :D



----------------
OK, this is a thread to think about
God's creation and how it's so, well,
thought out. There's soo much thought
and, truly, it does make sense, doesn't it?
When God said, 'in the beginning,' that man
would rule over all the other creatures of the
land, air, sea, in the book of Genesis, He meant
it, didn't He? It seems logical, don't it? Speaking
how in the world (pun intended) men would survive
against beasts extraordinarily bigger than himself was.


Genesis 1 :
"Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals,[SUP]a[/SUP] and over all the creatures that move along the ground."

Don't be silly either. Man would NOT be able to rule over all the creatures if dinosaurs were on Earth with them, well, dinosaurs like a Tyrannasaurus Rex. I'm not saying either than dinosaurs never existed, there is fossil proof they DID exist. But, they did NOT exist at the same time as man walked the Earth. I see no evidence of it in Scripture either. Imagine a 50 foot tall beast with teeth as long as human legs walking the Earth with man. Impossible :)


OK, so, you're turn now. Start singing the song even, 'It's my turn, it's my turn now.' :)
Let's hear it !!!!!!!!!

Why did God make __________________________ ?

It can be ANYTHING too, from medicines to body parts (please, no sexual parts mentioned unless done without being uncouth), to animals to inventions ?

Also, you can answer my question, if you want, about the whale shark being ferocious sounding and looking, yet, it being a docile beast of the sea. There are NO "20,000 Leagues Under The Sea" 80 foot long, 15,000 pound heavy squids that FLIP ships in THESE TIMES, LOL, since time began ,at least, I don't see it. Do you ? :)

why God saw fit to make mosquitoes is still an unsettled question in my mind.

Now, let's get more positive people :D

Why did God make us men be able to continually work toward greater and greater technological, AND, DON'T forget, medical, breakthroughs ?

Have you heard there is IN THE WORKS a cure for blindness :)

But, I don't care, the Lord leads, you post whatever you want, good, bad, ugly, of what God makes. But, remember, God is Love :)

In 1497 Giovanni Cabota, an explorer, while sailing into an area off the shores of North America known as the Grand Banks, came upon schools of cod fish so thick they actually slowed the progress of his sailing ship. I have had some aquatic experience, with goldfish, of which I had two that were acquired, much to the delight of my young daughters, when I managed to toss not one but two ping pong balls into small bowls containing the fish at a game of skill at a carnival. Bringing the goldfish home, in a plastic bag filled with water, and after a little research on goldfish management, I soon acquired all the items necessary to provide the goldfish with some quality of life as pets, including an aquarium, food, filters and plants. It wasn't easy creating a stable environment for those goldfish and as a new problem arose I had to add to the list of aquarium requirements. I would imagine, God in his infinite wisdom, took into consideration all the requirements necessary to provide a stable environment for his creation and those whale sharks were part of a self sustaining process.

Genesis 9
[SUP]1[/SUP] And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.
[SUP]2[/SUP] And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered.
During post flood times creatures were given a fear of man. I have lived in a remote area of Canada where any creature I came upon in the wilds definitely had a fear and they expressed that fear by distancing themselves from any encounters they had with people. Bears for instance would turn tail and run. Living in a less remote area now I come upon bears that still fear man but have a tendency to stand their ground or even charge rather. Perhaps their natural fear turns to aggression.
Revelation 6
[SUP]8[/SUP] And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.

When I read this verse I wonder to what extent the beasts of the earth will kill and in what manner. I was watching a video on genetics where scientists were able to take a lazy fruit fly and implant human DNA into the fly which causes the fly to loose its lazy trait. I can imagine some scientist creating some creatures with ....bizarre attitudes.

There are secret things that belong to God. We don't need to know them (Deuteronomy 29:29).

God has revealed plenty that is worthy of our attention. God gave us the natural universe and the Bible in both of which He has revealed much. God created the world and nations full of people among whom He wants his Church to make disciples.

Gen: 3: 17-18; And unto Adam he said, Because though hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;

Thorns and thistles shall it bring forth unto thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field.

There is another time that Israel sinned so bad that Our Father cursed the earth with pestilence as well; sorry I don't remember where it is in the Bible, but its there.

Not every thing that is was originally made like tooth decay.

Genesis 3:17-18 And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;
Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;
