[Titus Quinctius Cincinnatus]

Four-legged Creatures Emerged Earlier than Thought

Fifth day, IIRC.

Well using Genesis to explain the Earth's biological history has always been a stretch. And this is a good example.

- Fifth day: God commands the sea to "teem with living creatures", and birds to fly across the heavens (sixth command)[Gen 1:20-21] He creates birds and sea creatures, and commands them to be fruitful and multiply.

- Sixth day: God commands the land to bring forth living creatures (seventh command);[Gen 1:24-25] He makes wild beasts, livestock and reptiles. He then creates Man and Woman in His "image" and "likeness" (eighth command).[Gen 1:26-28] They are told to "be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it."

Got that? Sea creatures and birds are made at the same time, while land animals come the next day. Yet all scientific evidence clearly shows that birds evolved from land animals (i.e. dinosaurs), not before them.

Explain that one away.
