If the Bible is the truth, how come we don’t see scientific distinctions in nature with the naming of creatures and objects? For example, some people question how there have been no deaths before the fall if God allowed humans and animals to eat plants, aren’t plants alive? The first audience of the Bible didn’t have the same knowledge and understanding as we have today, so the text needed to be simple enough to be understood over time at different levels of human knowledge, as well as across cultures, regardless of the level of education. Jesus’ parables are primarily about agriculture because, no matter how much humans progress scientifically, we all still rely on the same process of sowing and reaping.
