Hi Glenn,
Interesting thought. Of course, the answer is God clearly knew, unless of
course, we are talking about some Process God which I can't see could be
the God of the Bible.
But more importantly, was THE WRITER of Genesis 1 aware? That is, when
the Holy Spirit inspired the writer did He permit the him to write within
his intellectual context (i.e., the ancient agrarian notion of
reproduction after one's kind)?
In Him,
Denis
