The cure for cults that want to deny others their freedom of speech is more freedom of speech -- Fredric Rice

Day Five

The planet is now a fit home for animal life. On day five God speaks into existence all manner of sea life and creatures of flight. The seas are to "swarm with swarms of living creatures" (ASV); this conveys a feeling of immediacy. No long, gradual process is here intimated; the command is urgent. The creation of birds is spoken of in like terms: "and let birds fly above the earth...." The Creator brings His creatures into being capable of functioning in their determined roles. Fish are created swimming; birds are created flying.

As with the vegetation which preceded, the creatures of day five are to reproduce after their kinds. Evolution teaches that birds are the biological descendants of reptiles, which descended from amphibians, which descended from sea creatures (Simpson and Beck, 1965, pp 608- 623). However, Moses says that birds and fish were created at the same time. Once again evolution and Genesis are irreconcilable. Once again, evening falls and morning returns, thus concluding the fifth day.
