Why are there no cows in the Devonian?

18, but it doesn't shock me that a stubborn old man doesn't want to acknowledge new ideas. Really, 30 is a kid to you? Patronizing much? Age does not guarantee wisdom, nor truth, just because something has been around for a long time doesn't mean it is true or what is best for the modern world. Perhaps if people didn't so strongly believe in an afterlife, they would value this one more.

Not bad for your age. You need more wisdom, which could not be taught.

How can you be wise about something you don't understand? If anything true wisdom would tell you that if you don't understand something, you can't defend its accuracy.

Common, that is what wisdom is. It does not need understanding.

two indepenent sets:

1. Students = 30
2. Students on the trip = 15

Either every or all can be used for set 2.

1 set, 1 subset

1. Students = 30
1a. Students (on the trip) = 15

Neither all nor every can be used for subset 1a. If 1a is a subset of 1, the appropriate subset term is HALF, NOT EVERY.

Get it?

If I refer to each of those in the subset (trip), I do say "every student" but not "all students"

If God created 100 fish kinds in Day 5. At the end of the Day, God can say: EVERY one of the fishes is good.

Since God is going to create more fish on Day 6, so at the end of Day 5, God does not say: All fishes are good. Because some are not created yet.

But you said it was above the wisdom of man, so man's wisdom wouldn't work too well in that regard.

It is above the "knowledge" of man.

Man does not have wisdom (except one). Wisdom comes from God.

At the surface of the Earth only fractional parts of the geologic column can be observed. In places almost the entire column is present and can be accessed by drilling. The Williston Basin in North Dakota is one such place. What is important is that the column can be traced from location to location. Some areas will be more complete, some less. What we don't see are layers "out of order" with only a few exceptions that were obviously caused by mountain building.

I am totally unaware of any creationist or flood geologist explanation that has not been totally debunked.

Care to give one example to see if you can debunk it?
Or, simply use the OP, does the question in the OP debunk anything?

I agree with that one, to write something like Genesis 1, a person has to unlearn everything he/she knows and think like someone who lived 3,000 years ago. That is not easy to do.

Now, how about we go back to topic? Why are there no cows in the Devonian? Or no fruit trees in the Cambrian?

Cows are not created yet.
There ARE fruit trees in the Cambrian time.

If so, what was created first?

Dear Readers, The first thing created or brought forth from things which do not appear, was the air (heaven) and the ground (earth). Gen 1:1 ALL physical matter was made from these first creation elements (not chemical elements). Water was NOT listed as being created since it came from the air for it is a combination of oxygen and hydrogen within the air.

Can anyone tell us HOW ancient men, who lived thousands of years before Science, could have possibly known and written this Scientific Truth? Of course not. It's one more PROOF of God. God reveals His advanced knowledge in His writings. God Bless you.

In Love,
Aman

I would be more impressed with the Bible if it said "And God took 2 atoms of creation and bound them to create water." however, we both know you're completely reaching with this explanation of creation.

Yeah, whatever. And why are there no cows in the Devonian?

Cows are not created yet.

Cows were created during the first week of the earth's existence. So yeah, they were here.

There ARE fruit trees in the Cambrian time.

Nope, there aren't. If there were, they would have, you know, left fossils. Here is another one for you to think about: there was no grass either.
