Answer 7

According to the Bible -- Genesis 1.20-27 -- yes, birds do come before humans.

Now, if you owned a copy of Bible that I have, you would be able to read all the footnotes (The Scofield Reference Bible - Containing Old and New Testament, Copyright 1917, Oxford University Press).

1) The Bible is One Book, which bears witness to One God

2) Forms one continuous story

3) Is a progressive unfolding of truth

4) From beginning to end it has one great theme - the person and work of Christ Jesus

5) From beginning to end testifies of one great redemption

6) Fourty-four writers through the course of Twenty Centuries, have produced a "perfect harmony" of doctrine in this progressive unfolding of truth

7) Each 'book' within The Bible, have their own destinctive theme, while still maintaining connection to the rest of scripture.

8) Each book falls into groups: (Preparation= The Old Testament; Manifestation= The Gospels; Propagation=The Acts; Explanation=The Epistles; and Consummation=The Apocalypse)

In other words --- Old Testament is the 'preparation' for Christ; in the Gospels he is 'manifested to the world; in The Acts He is preached and His Gospel is 'propagated' in the world. The Epistles His Gospel is 'explained', and in Revalation all the purposes of God in and through Christ Jesus are 'consummated'.

9) These fall into yet other groups:

Redemption= Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy

Organization= Joshua, Judges, Ruth, First and Second Samuel, First and Second Kings, First and Second Chronicles, Ezra, Nehemiah, and Esther

Poetry= Job, Pslams, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Solomon, and Lamentations

Sermons= Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi

Here's another way of looking at scripture, according to footnotes in my Bible.

"While redemption is the general theme of the Pentateuch, telling as it does the story of the redemption of Israel out of bondage and into "a good and large land. Each of the five books has its own distinctive part in the whole. Genesis is the book of beginnings, and explains the ORIGIN of Israel."

"Exodus the story of DELIVERANCE of Israel. Leviticus of WORSHIP of Israel as a delivered people. It is that nation, Israel, with which the Bible narrative is thereafter chiefly concerned from the eleventh chapter of Genesis to the second chapter of Acts."

"The Gentiles are mentioned, but only in connection with Israel. The Gospels record the appearance in human history and with in the Hebrew nation of the promised Messiah, Jesus Christ, and tell the wonderful story of His Manifestation to Israel."

"The Acts record the descent of the Holy Spirit, and the beginning of a new thing in human history, the Church. The division of race now becomes threefold -- The Jews, The Gentiles, and the Church of God. And finally, Christ Jesus, is manifest as "God in the flesh". The binding of Christ throughout the Bible makes Him (Son of God, Son of man, Son of Abraham, Son of David, destroyer of Satan, and 'head over all the Church.' "

Answer 8

Come on, don't you think it was the Chimps, then we evolved into this unintelligent species from the swinging chimpanzee residue.
Oh yeah, I think first it was God, then He created all things, but I get the impression that thats not working for you, so...hmm, yeah Birds.
Or man, or well maybe it was the egg, or hmmm, some form of dust to man to woman to the animals, but then, it is all just so confusing and hard to follow.
