Creation (Fish, Birds And Animals)

Genesis 1:20–25
» View this passage in NIV (Bible Gateway)

There are various false theories concerning the formation of the world. The most common are:

1. Continuous evolution - Says the universe has no beginning or end. They believe there is a continuous creation of “new” matter by way of hydrogen atoms. The big problem is there is no example of anything now being created! This is of course false.

2.  Atheistic evolution -  They believe through chance and accidental happenings is how our perfectly ordered universe came into existence. This is false.

3.  Theistic evolution - Says God was in creation, He just took millions and millions of years to evolve everything to it’s present state. Sometimes referred to as the day/age theory. False!!

On the fifth day God created every living creature which means He made every creature out of nothing. He saw the world was ready for some living creatures, the seas were ready for fish and the trees and grass was ready to be homes for the birds. God made all kinds of fish and water animals and every kind of bird and fowl (vv.20-23). 

Again He brought them forth according to His plan. The waters did not produce the marine life but at God’s command the existing waters suddenly were filled with swimming creatures. All types of marine creatures and the winged fowl were brought forth abundantly after his kind. God blessed the water creatures and fowl of the air and said for them to be fruitful and multiply and fill the seas and  let the fowl multiply in the earth. God made every type of wild animal, every type of domestic animal, and every type of creature that crawls on the ground. God saw that they were good (vv. 24-25)..
