Aman:>>Here is reality: God told us more than 3k years ago that "every living creature that moveth" was created and brought forth from WATER. Science announced the discovery of the SAME thing last year.

Now, it's your time to tell us HOW any ancient man who lived 3k years ago, knew and correctly wrote the recently discovered Scientific Truth. No one else can.
***That's easy. A vague statement can be interpreted in many different ways - after the fact, it may seem to match well with our current understanding of reality, but if reality had been different the same vague statement would seem to fit just as well. Saying that life "came from the water" - well, where else would it have come from? Probably the water or the land, right? It could simply be a somewhat lucky guess.
Until last year, there were many many ideas of where life came from. Panspermia, abiogenesis and others were debated. Don't you find it interesting that the consensus became from the WATER? If you think that's a coincidence then please explain WHY God made at least 3 Heavens according to Gen 1:6-8 and Gen 2:4.
***The part that you are quoting is:
20And 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.
21And 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.
22And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.
23And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
If I'm interpreting this correctly, God says that the water should "bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life", and this happens. Importantly, the "water bringing forth" seems to apply to the fowl as well. If I was just looking at this part, it seems like (according to this book) all things were "brought forth" from the waters. However, the next part is:
24And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after
his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after
his kind: and it was so.
25And God made the beast of the earth after
his kind, and cattle after
their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after
his kind: and God saw that
it was good.
In other words, God
then tells the earth to "bring forth living creatures," and
then the earth does so. It doesn't say that it
already happened - the earth-bound creatures
had not already been created. This means that they
were not brought forth from the water. So closer inspection shows that this
does not mesh with our current understanding of early life. The two descriptions of the beginnings of life look slightly vaguely similar, but that's all.
Can you see the
his kinds which I bolded? Notice also that
their kinds is also bolded. God (Elohim-The Trinity) speaks and the Son (YHWH/Jesus-God incarnate) produces the "common ancestors", the temporal creatures, which are subject to DEATH. When God the Trinity "
creates" it is always an ETERNAL creation, which means that the creature is made immortal, just like Christians are created forever only by the Trinity's creation. Gen 1:27 Gen 5:1-2 and John 14:16
Do you now see the difference between His and Their kinds?
