Are there Too many animals over enormous areas, separated by vast oceans?
Many Progressive Creationists claim that Adam was commanded to name all of the animals, which they claim consists of all the birds and mammals. According to them, animals lived all around the world on each of today’s continents. How then was Adam to name all the animals, since some were unique to specific continents? It would be nearly impossible for Adam to get to the animals to observe them in their natural habitats as they suggest is required, let alone name such a huge number. This could not be done in one day, nor in one lifetime. Meticulous Adam worse off Dr. Ross claims that Adam in his perfect state would be all the more meticulous in performing his God-assigned tasks. [Dr. Hugh Ross, Creation and Time, p.51] In other words, rather than speeding Adam, his sin-free body, brain and mind would supposedly slow him down. Ross implies that Adam had to meticulously analyze each creature before naming it. If all the animals on each continent had to be named, the task becomes Herculean.
