For example if I replenish my stock of beer that implies I previously had a stock of beer that I no longer have but wish to have posses again.
Replenishing the human race would imply there was previously a human race that was no longer present.
Not particularly sure why he didn't just explain that but whatever. My guess is its easier for him to just copy and paste.
But if God made Adam and Eve and set them to replenish then their task would be to replenish what God created in his own image, which were Adam and Eve! Or am I missing something?
The entire point. What you just described is a complete paradox and defies the definition of replenish.
You cannot replenish something that hasn't been.
God is not part of mankind. Adam and Eve are supposedly the first, if this is the case then when Adam and Eve are created mankind was not replenished. Created? Yes. Born? Yes. Acquired? Maybe. Replenished? No.
Mankind supposedly hadn't existed before, you can't replenish something you've never had.
(Not sure why I'm arguing for catfishs point but I'd wager I'm doing it better than he would have.)
