Re[2]: [at-l] dominion over every living thing .... was ... Mice.

But the same book has another story of the creation. In Chapter 2 God creates
"every plant of the field" and "every herb of the field" and then noticed that
"there was not a man to till the ground" and thus conserve his creation so He
"formed man of the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath
of life," meaning I believe, that man was created to conserve and nurture this
marvelous, but fragile earth, and all its creatures, even shelter mice.

I prefer the Chapter 2 account. But please. I've exhausted my knowledge of
Genesis. I can't debate the details.
