D6211:  The animals were cursed in Genesis 3 after man's sin

 

Edited by Greg Neyman

 

Argument:  The animals and our world were cursed by God Genesis 3.  Ken Ham says of Romans 8:22 that the world is sin-cursed

 

Source:   Ham, Ken.  The Great Dinosaur Mystery Solved!; pages 54-55

 

Response: 

 

  1. The curse of Genesis 3 consists of three parts:

    1. The serpent (Satan) was cursed in Genesis 3:14-15

    2. Eve was cursed in Genesis 3:16

    3. Adam was cursed in Genesis 3:17-19

    Nowhere does it say the world, nor the animals were cursed

  2. Note Verse 17...the ground is cursed because of Adam.  Mankind is still abusing and destroying the earth, through pollution, mismanagement, killing to extinction of species, etc.  God cursed mankind, but mankind is the one responsible for the earth being cursed through his mismanagement.  Therefore, God only indirectly cursed the earth

  3. Verse 18 says the earth will produce thistles and thorns.  God did not create thistles and thorns at this point, as His creative works were completed.  They must have previously existed.  They were not the result of His curse

 

 

     If you are not a Christian, and you have been holding out on making a decision for Christ because the Church always preached a message that was contrary to what you saw in the scientific world, then rest assured that the Bible is the inerrant Word of God, and you can believe in Christ and receive salvation, while still believing in an old earth.  Click here for more.
