上帝創造動物

神造野獸，各從其類；牲畜，各從其類；地上一切昆蟲，各從其類。神看一切是好的。一個井然有序的世界，於焉誕生。祂更任命了第一個人類亞當，擔任為萬物命名、管理萬物的重責大任。
有時，人以為愛是激情、愛是放任，可以聽憑己意、狂亂沒有章法。然而，在創世之初，因為愛，神就立下了秩序：日月星辰定節期，百獸萬物各從其類。祂所珍愛的人類，則在一開始就參與了祂的創造，肩負管理之責，不但管理萬物，也從中學習管理自己的生命，學習在愛的直覺和激情中，運用神所賜的智能和理性，打造一個理性與感性均衡的健康人生。
在神所應許的新天新地，豺狼與羊羔同食，獅子吃草與牛一樣，塵土是蛇的食物，這一切都不傷人、不害物，宇宙同唱和諧樂音。

God Creates Animals

Genesis  1 : 20-25

God made animals, each and every kind of them.  God also made all kinds of worms and insects.  The Creator saw that everything created was good.  That is how a finely tuned world was born.  God commanded the first human being, Adam, to give each creature a name, and put him in charge of taking care of all creatures.

Sometimes, humans believe that love is the exuberant freedom that allows them to do anything they want without any restraint.  However, God established order at the beginning of creation because of love.  The sun, moon, and stars all follow a set trajectory.  Animals are grouped according to species.  God’s beloved human beings participated in God’s creation from the very beginning.  They were responsible for taking care of all creatures.  From this task, they learned to manage their own lives.  They learned to use the wisdom God gave them in a loving and exuberant manner.  That is how they learned to balance their lives between passion and reason and live healthy lives.

In the promised new heaven and new earth, the wolf and the sheep eat and sleep together.  The lion eats grass just like the cow does.  The dust is the serpent’s food.  Nothing is harmful to the human being and the creatures.  The whole universe is in perfect harmony.
