You know, sometimes it comes up in other threads, about being able to create new forms of life and who/what can do this. It has been said that Satan could not do this, that only God has the power to create a new life or species.
I question this and would like to discuss it specifically. I'm ultimately undecided, but find myself leaning towards, God is not the only ultimate power which can do this. This subject usually comes up in Nephilim threads, and is used as a counter to the Angel view. But...don't we have some evidence here on earth that even man has done such things? Many (most?) dog species or types are genetically engineered. Did God say let there be German Shepards? No, it was the Germans which brought about German Shepards. Cross breeding is no big feat for the learned. There were absolutely not "Ligers" in the distant past.
Do you know what a Liger is? A cross between a Lion and a Tiger. I watched a video about one they have recently. They had trouble with it. It was only possible one way (I forget which). I think it had to be a male lion and a female tiger. This new beast, the Liger, is about 900 pounds and eats about 100 pounds of meat per day. whereas normal lions and tigers eat about 25 pounds per day (IIRC).
I've also heard the speculation that God created the herbivorous dinosaurs only, and the carnivorous dinosaurs came about from somewhere else, like T-Rex's. This sort of makes sense to me, but who knows for sure. There are descriptions in the bible about dinosaurs, and fossilized evidence of man's footprints beside and inside dinosaur prints, and even archaeological evidence (pictographs and so forth) of dinosaurs, notably, the herbivores (vegetarians).
What say ye?
