Was that Adam's first mistake, not picking a sheep or a sow for a mate when they were offered to him by God?
Genesis 2:18-20

Good morning Denise. So good to have a sane voice amongst the throng :-)

Adam observed how the animals all had mates of their own kind. It was Adams creative job to name all the animals. Of course he'd wonder why he did not have a mate. Jehovah saw this need. That's why he took a rib from Adam, not a sheep or cow etc. and created his companion Eve. The two were then to procreate the HUMAN population on this earth. The other animals with their mate of the same kind were to populate their types. And "that's the story of... that's the story of... love."

this is what you are talking about?
And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.
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.
And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him.
seriously? the very next lines are:
And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;
And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.
god never intended adam to mate with animals, they were companions, but not to mate with.

The scripture you provide says God brought the animals forth so Adam could name them, not look for a mate. Learn to read.

You really don't like women at all, do you? Are you one of those fellows who watched broke back mountain and prayed to see some real sheep shearing after the guys calmed down a little?. Get over it. Women probably don't like you either, so-- buy yourself a farm somewhere and have at it, but leave this topic alone for a while, what do you say?

Well, that'll be the 768,347th reason I've found to think this whole big scary bloke in the sky controlling everything is a joke...

I could take several valuable minutes out of my morning to explain to you how stupid you sound, but I'm very tired and somehow I doubt my answering your questions could illuminate your narrow mind, anyway. Most people, when they ask a question, genuinely want to know. Don't ask otherwise.

Because God gives mankind free will.

Oh. he did and when God brough him the goat Adam said, "no, I told you, no wiskers, that's it. You're fired. I will find my own.... animal."
