+ One of Adam's jobs was to name the animals. It's interesting that God already released some control of His creation and gave Adam free reign to do a job as he wished. (Genesis 2:18-20)
+ Men are passive from the beginning as Adam watched Eve interact with the serpent and eat the fruit. (Genesis 3:6)
+ "And the Lord God made clothing from animal skins for Adam and his wife." (Genesis 3:21) God loved Adam and Eve and cared for them even as he disciplined them.
+ Because man was so sinful, God shortened our lifespans so we would sin less by living less. "My Spirit will not put up with humans for such a long time, for they are only mortal flesh. In the future, their normal lifespan will be no more than 120 years." (Genesis 6:3)
+ I can't begin to imagine how Noah and his family felt with the knowledge that: a) the world as they knew it was going to end; b) they were chosen to live and carry on humanity; and c) their friends were all going to die. (Genesis 6–8)
+ Who was Nimrod and what made him so heroic? What did people do in those days to be heroic? He was obviously a hunter, but also a conqueror. Did he conquer other people or just lands? (Genesis 10:8-12)
+ Noah's family populated the earth with people. Abraham's family would populate the earth with believers. (Genesis 10:32)
