:: Yes, God gave dominion to man, but what does that mean? More specifically, what does the Bible mean by "dominion"? Looking up four versions, the AV and Amplified use the word "dominion", whilst the NIV and NASB say "rule over". And one can rule under authority of another. I don't know the precise meaning of the Hebrew word, but so far I see no evidence that the rule over Earth was absolute in the sense that you seem to be claiming. [[User:Philip J. Rayment|Philip J.
