Genesis 4
Adam and Eve have two boys, Cain and Abel. Cain was jealous of the pleasure the Lord found in Abel's offering that he murdered him. Cain was now a fugitive and a vagabond. Another son is born, Seth.

Genesis 7
600th year, 2nd month, 17th day of Noah's live the flood began.
The flood lasted 40 days and 40 nights.
The Bible says that every bird, cattle, beast, creeping things, and man died in the flood. Does this include the fish and other marine life? Just a thought.
"... does that include fish and marine life?"
ReplyDeletehmmmm... never thought of that. can you drown a fish?
There had to be some crazy fish and sea creature back then. And well... there are still tons of sea life that is still undiscovered. crazy. God is really good at creating things, I'd say.
