No arguing here, just what the bible states.If you want to argue man was created before animals, you'll have to explain why Genesis 1 lists man's creation AFTER the animals on Day 6 saying "THEN God said "let us make man in our image". THEN means "Next"... it means "AFTER".
Answer this.... according to Genesis 1:24-31...did the animals come BEFORE man? Yes or No?
second, the bible never said man was "{created"/"formed" on day 6. it was the FEMALE who was brought forth on day 6 because no help mate was found for the man. we suggest you read those verses carefully as to what was made on day 6, the "SEXES" male and female.
third, the IMAGE of God is "ANOTHER" which Eve is to Adam, for she came out of Adam, hence the term "WOMAN". just as the Lord JESUS came out of God the Holy Spirit. meaning he's "ANOTHER" of God in flesh which was to come. supportive scripture, Romans 5:14 "Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come". that term "figure" is synonyms with "IMAGE. supportive scripture, Hebrews 1:3 "Who being the brightness of [his] glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high"
so the Lord Jesus is the "expressed IMAGE" that was to Come.
just as the apostle Paul said by the Holy Ghost, Romans 1:19 "Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed [it] unto them.
Romans 1:20 "For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, [even] his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
so there is no excuse.
now we have used scripture to backup what we have said. no Private interpretation here.
but thanks for the post.
