The Bible and Animals

If you have read my previous posts on the books of the Bible, you should remember the animals mentioned by the Bible-god for his demanded offerings, and they are:

  • goats
  • bulls
  • rams
  • pigeons

I wonder if these animals existed during that time:

  • cats
  • dogs
  • rats
  • tigers
  • lions
  • bears
  • rabbits
  • monkeys
  • giraffes
  • spiders
  • kangaroos
  • koalas, etc and all the other domestic animals we know of today.

Why was the Bible-god only interested in the few animals? Or were the other animals created only some time later by other aliens? Or they existed only in other parts of the world? The second list of animals are domestic animals and not wild animals, so naturally I would expect them to be where humans were. Surprisingly, they were not mentioned at all by the Bible-god. The lion was only mentioned in the story of Samson much later in the Bible. Isn't this something that believers in the Bible should ask?
