After His Kind

Every living thing in creation reproduces “after his kind”.  God gives a list:

Genesis 1:

v 12  “And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yeilding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind...”

v 21 - “whales and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind...”

v 25 - And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind...”

But mankind does not reproduces after his kind. The record says that “God blessed them and God said unto them. Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth...” (Genesis 1:28)  Never does it mention that mankind would reproduce after his kind. And although my daughter looks like me, and I look like my mother and she like hers our goal is not to reproduce after our own kind.  Our purpose in child bearing is to reproduce in God’s image.  He is the Progenitor and our work is to replenish the earth with people that look like Him.
