Come on Juve. Please explain to me the distinction between "all" and "every" Please feel free to get as layman as possible about just to make sure I understand. You like to say you're trying to teach us, so please teach me this unfamiliar distinction between what appear to be a couple synonyms.
Also, I notice you continue to gloss over the fact that the Bible explicitly states that birds were created on the same day as fish before the land animals appeared. So why do they show up after the land animals in the fossil record?
I did not understand that at all.
God creates 100 fish kinds today, but that is not all fishes we see today. Because God creates another 100 fish kinds tomorrow. So, today, God see "every" fish He created is good. After the creation is over, then we can say that God created ALL fishes.
With that many contortions, you should join the circus.
You call that contortion, then there is no straight (logic) talk.
All right. I explain it to you in plain English:
If I have 30 students in a class and I take 20 of them out for a trip. I can refer to the group in traveling by "every students". But this will not include those did not go. In order to include them, I will say "all students".

That was what I thought. But I think differently now.
Why should God stop a certain type of creation until He "finished" all His creations? The Day sequence marks the beginning of each creation, but not the end of them. The end of all creations is on Day 7.

The Bible is basically a spiritual book and not a textbook. Fundamentalists who interpret the Bible literally, use the Bible as a textbook while the rest use it only as a spiritual guide. It matters not what the contents are of a spiritual guide. What matters is the personal spiritual message one gets from this guide. Spiritual guides belong to the world of the supernatural and the unfalsifiable. They have no bearing on the physical world other than to console and guide a person's psyche.
Most humans seek consolation and inspiration in all manner of things and examples laid down by great people.
Fundamentalism has no place in a modern society and especially not in our schools. Creationism and such are a bane to any modern society when they trespass onto science.
That still doesn't address the order problem. Fruit trees were some of the first organisms created according to the Bible, yet they only show up very late in the fossil record. Not to mention that the sun came after the plants in the Bible.
The fossil record is not the record of creation. The only reason we have fossils is that an extinction event (the flood) deposited them there thousands of years after creation.
Then why don't we find a single mammal in the Devonian? Why don't we find a single blade of grass, or a single flowering plant?

Kind of makes you wonder where they came from then, since we have them today, huh?
Evolution does explain where they come from. Creationism does not, as your posts clearly demonstrate.

There was light from God. He created it on day one.
How many times does it need to be said or answered?

I don't understand where is the problem?
Everything was created in 6 days and stopped on the 7th. This is 24 hour days. It does not matter what order things were created because everything existed and was alive within 1 week.
Either way the fossil record isn't very reliable, we weren't back in history to see what happened.
