God good to all, or just a few?
PSA 145:9 The LORD is good to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works.
JER 13:14 And I will dash them one against another, even the fathers and the sons together, saith the LORD: I will not pity, nor spare, nor have mercy, but destroy them.
and another
Which first--beasts or man?
GEN 1:25 And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
GEN 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
GEN 2:18 And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.
GEN 2:19 And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.

What? You mean there are really two creation stories in Genesis? Are they talking about the same creation?
Ok, I'm kinda mocking you there, sorry....
It's NOT a contradiction, and they are NOT describing the same creation. If you were to actually read the texts, that should become apparent. I'm not going to tell you what Genesis 1 and 2 are, their differences, and what they are in regards to.
I mean, cmon! Genesis 2: 1-9 even state that plants, garden of evil, and animals all came after man...
" In the middle of the garden were the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil."
This is not about the creation of EARTH AND THE UNIVERSE!
If you can't recognize that this is a different chapter than Genesis 1, and that they are NOT describing the same thing, you are a failure in trying to tell other people that there is a contradiction. Just stop, for real... I'm not religious by any means, rather I find many aspects of the texts to be weak minded and ill intend.
Aaaahhhhh! It gets so old trying to explain the composition and meanings behind the texts to people!
Again, Genesis 1 and Genesis 2, NOT DESCRIBING THE SAME CREATION... it's almost as if metaphors are to be taken literally at every moment. It's like, Genesis 1 & 2 are apples and oranges, OMG they are now fruit and not literature!
