What about all of the animals that were discovered and named more recently? Did Adam not get to those ones before the fall?

Don't believe everything that religion tells you. We know that cave people started the development of language. If Adam & Eve were the first people they could only 'grunt' let alone name animals.

The animals that have been "discovered" recently were in Adam's presence - he saw them and named them. They died in the Flood, and those that were on the boat eventually died out for various reasons. We only recently "rediscovered" these animals.

There is a contradiction in the Bible, originally God created animals then created Adam to take care of them, then later he creates Adam then creates animals as a help meat for him.

You know why you have so many questions about the logic in the Bible? Because there is no logic in superstition. The Bible is an interpretation of the world before there was any science to explain it. The Bible says the sun revolves around the earth. Do you believe that too?

Some Atheists take the Bible more literally than fundamental Christians...it's a just a book that was written by a group of guys, come on now, move on to criticizing another religion instead of always focusing on the obvious flaws of Christianity.

Shalom,
The bible is allegoric and not historical. When Adam was naming the animals it was portraying how we must gain mastery over our lower/earthly nature.

There was no Adam. It's a fairy tale not to be taken literally.

He named them all. Somewhere in the thousands of years between him and you the information can lost.

How long would that have taken?
There are something like 300,000 types of beetles alone!

How do you know he didn't? Just because any names he may have given them aren't remembered, doesn't mean he didn't name them. Most of the crap you spew won't be remembered latter this same day. Merry Christmas.
