Creation/evolution3

[watchamadoodle]

So, do you imagine the seven days happening in seven days, or do you imagine the seven days happening over billions of years in phases that are overlapping and ordered differently from Genesis 1?

Of course cats are native to the desert and could hunt lizards. Also humans would not survive on a diet of ordinary bread for 40 years. Manna must have been very nutritious and could have been made into cat kibble in addition to human bread IMO.

Yes 7 days is 7 literal days.
Why? Jesus supported the 7 day creation when He spoke of it. As He was there I would tend to take his word.

I read Genesis 1 again, and by the sixth day everything has been created (cattle, birds, etc.). This seven days happens 4 billion years ago, so are you saying these modern plants and animals were created only in the Garden of Eden and the rest of the Earth was still in the Hadean Eon? Worse still, the universe is 13.8 billion years old, so this 7 days took at least 10 billion years according to science.

Let say there was 1000 cats in a 1000 acre camp, how long before the lizzard population (and other cat size meals) in that area would be gone? how long before the cats become meals for larger animals, or maybe even traded off if they had such value.

According to the Bible, the Israelites had huge herds of livestock. This livestock would have eaten-up the vegetation faster than the cats would have eaten up the lizards IMO. The only solution would be for the livestock and cats to eat manna along with the humans. Manna was the food normally eaten by heavenly beings such as angels. Heaven would not be heavenly without cats, so obviously manna is also suitable for cats.

BTW: Are you aware of 1 Chronicles 7:20-24? This is textual evidence from the Bible that the tribe of Ephraim never went to Egypt.
