Why are cattle cursed at all? In Gen 3.14 god says,to the serpent that "thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field." Why are the cattle cursed? What did they do? Didn’t god just make them? Why would an omniscient being make something that he would have to curse as soon as he made it? Why not just not make the cursed beasts of the field?

Eat dust?
Gen 3.14 says, "Thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field." Now I didn’t know that cattle were cursed. But later in this same paragraph he curses all snakes to eat dust. Now I have seen enough Animal Planet that I can safely say that snakes do not eat dust!
Why doesn’t god know things?
Gen 3.9 says, "where art thou?" Now I thought god was the author of all and that he was omniscient. Why would he not know where Adam was. He also asks Adam Gen 3.11 "who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree…" He then asks Eve Gen 3.13 "What is this that thou hast done?" Does this sound like an omniscient fellow to you?
Why is there gold in eden?
Gen 2.11 says, "...where there is gold." What would a lone man in eden need gold for? He had no needs and everything was free.
Man is made of dust?
I have to give this one to the evolutionists. If man was formed of dust shouldn’t we be 90% dirt? Instead we are somewhere around 90% water. Gen 2.7 says "god formed man of dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life." Gross.
On the seventh day he rested?
If god ended his work (Gen 2.2) on the seventh day, then didn’t he technically work? I understand he rested also but if I am painting a room in my house and I end the job on Tuesday I did work on Tuesday.

Looking at the Bible; Who is the he/she?
Gen 1:26 says, "And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness". Who is our? Are there more than one god? So in Gen 1.27 "God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them." Now I know what you are thinking. The bible is talking about Adam and Eve. The problem there is that God creates Eve later in Gen 2.22.
What gives?
