Egalitarian pushback: animals were made before Adam in Genesis 1, so creation order doesn't imply authority -- Mike's response: Genesis 1 and 2 are separate accounts, and primogeniture only applies among humans.

Egalitarian counter-argument to primogeniture

Egalitarians note that animals precede humans in Genesis 1's creation order, so order doesn't equal authority. Mike responds: (1) Genesis 1 and 2 are separate (not contradictory) accounts that shouldn't be laid on top of each other. (2) Genesis 1 focuses on humanity's relationship with creation, not Adam and Eve's relationship. (3) Ancient Hebrews applied primogeniture only among humans -- they wouldn't consider an animal's birth order relevant.
