Monkey Reading The Bible
Contributed by John Bright on Jan 17, 2021 (message contributor)
One day the zoo-keeper noticed that the monkey was reading two books - the Bible and Darwin's The Origin of Species. In surprise he asked the ape, "Why are you reading both those books"?
"Well," said the monkey, "I just wanted to know if I was my brother's keeper or my keeper's brother."
God created each “kind” of animal - “And God made the beasts of the earth after their kinds, and cattle after their kinds, and everything that creeps upon the earth after its kind: and God saw that it was good.” Genesis 1:25 Someone once asked, “If we evolved from monkeys, why are there still monkeys?” Good question!
