Genesis chapter 2
The chapter starts with God taking a well earned rest before
the story seems to re-focus on the creation of man.
There is a famous cartoon of a gorilla with a bible in one
hand and a copy of Darwin’s origin of species in the other and the caption “Am
I my brother’s keeper, or my keepers brother?”
This may come as a shock to some readers, but I don’t, and
the church as a whole (mostly), has no major objection to the theory of
evolution – just a godless version of the theory where history has shown that
once God and morality are taken out, and the “survival of the fittest” tagline
has led to eugenics and many of the worst excesses of the 20th
century where word additions like “sub” and “non” were used as excuses for
murder and genocide.
Surely if we are to take God’s instruction to care for the
planet at all seriously surely the answer to the cartoon would be “Both”
As a Bachelor, I find the end of this chapter slightly
irritating – surely I am complete with God?
