Why Believe in God?
Reason #42
Man rules all animals.
And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
- Genesis 1:26 (KJV)
Man rules the earth. There is no kind of animal that does not live in fear of man. But man does not rule nature. Is it not interesting that ancient myths portray men and gods who could communicate with animals, control the forces of nature and alter time and space. But the Bible does not speak of men performing those feats except when endowed with special powers by God for specific purposes. Man rules the earth, God rules nature.
