The Origin of Angels OR Stan Lee did not write the Bible.

Ever wonder how and when the angelic host were created? Just how many "kinds" of angelic beings are there? Were they all created at the same time?

This is a not-too-serious topic, but it suddenly seemed odd to me that the Bible does not address these questions. Stan Lee (no relation) would not have left these questions unanswered!

The topic came up while I was having a casual conversation with a "young Earther" who would like to believe the Earth is only about 6,000 years old. It was a non-contentious conversation, and we went back and forth discussing things like the 'gap' theory, etc.

In the context of this discussion, I pointed out that maybe the reason why the origin of angels is not mentioned is because the Bible is only concerned with this creation. Other eras of creation, including ones that happened on this planet or perhaps on other planets, are so vast and maybe even innumerable to cover in such a tiny book, and that is why there is little to nothing there about prehistory in our Bible.

I am not throwing this topic out for debate, necessarily, but I'm curious as to how many viewpoints on this topic exist within the walls of this forum.
