Some have argued, Genesis 1:24 bring forth the living
creature according to it,s kind. So this will cut down on the
naming. But Genesis 2:20 states he gave names to all cattle,
to the birds of the air, every beast of the field. He forgot about
the insects. What, did all the animals gather around the Euphrates
river so they could be named. And how could he remerber their names.
That,s a tall job.
And whatever Adam called each living creature, that was its name.
The Bible say so.
Your forgetting , a thousand years is as one day , and a day as a thousand years ....just saying

Really?
Most of the world's species remain undiscovered by science.
Biologists have described and classified 1.7 million plants and animals as of 2010, less than one-quarter of the total species estimated in the world. Scientists figure there are still over five million species waiting to be found. The table below lists how many undiscovered species exist for each type of plant and animal.
So far, zoologists have reported on nearly all the mammal and bird species currently living on earth. There may be a dozen or so left that as yet are unknown to science.
Most of the fish and reptiles are already identified, but there remain several thousand more left to find. Meanwhile, new techniques in molecular biology are helping scientists identify new amphibian species.
Where most of the discovery work still needs doing is with invertebrate animals, creatures without backbones. Taxonomists have classified only one-fifth of all invertebrate species.
About four million insects have not yet been examined and named. Another half million spiders and their relatives are still unidentified. Plus hundreds of thousands of aquatic creatures, ranging from snails to sponges, remain mysterious.
There are still nearly one-fifth of vascular plants left to discover, not including an unknown number of plant algae species. While scientists have documented nearly all the coniferous plants, these make up a tiny fraction of all plant species. Thousands of the world's flower, fern and moss species are new to science and have yet to be recorded.
I remember my tutor stating how appropiate the names of animals were in describing them , such as Lion Elephant Girraffe etc.etc.,of course neither of us twigged that Adam didnt speak english. LOL

uumm, so the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
The true story, Adam had a couple of cows, named Batsy and
Louie Bell a dog named Rover and the deer, he was alone. He
called out, come here dear, later changed to deer.
Mrsjones5: An eye opening article, it seems that Jehovah
and Adam miss a few animals. LOL
kangaroos? what would he have made of them or the Platypus. A duck billed mammal that eats under water suckles its young and keep them ina rear facing pouch.
perhaps he named the species.. who cares i still like animals.

Maybe a nice stew?
He only had to name the animals in Eden. Rupert, Kermit, Paddington, Mickey .....
