[_ Old Earth _] Transitional species. Specifically ones with lungs & gi

Re: Transitional species. Specifically ones with lungs &amp

According to evolution, there was a time where species began to emerge from the oceans to survive on land.

They are wrong because they do not read their Bible.

On the fifth day God said: "Let the waters bring forth" breathing creatures. On the sixth day we are told: "Let the earth bring forth the living creature"

Clearly there is a difference between what the waters brings forth and what the earth brings forth.

Also, there was a creation that took place on the 8 th day in the
Garden of Eden.

Genesis 1:20-21
And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. [21] And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

As Augustine noted, well over a thousand years ago, Genesis itself tells us that it cannot be literal. Rather, he pointed out, the Genesis creation story is God's way of telling a pretechnological people about the different aspects of His creation, in a way they could understand. Even then, they knew it wasn't a literal history.

YE creationism is a very modern religion, no older than the 20th century.
