Why does it matter? No matter what fossils we find in any given sediment you will say that it is consistent with Genesis. You ceded all of your intellecutal capital when you said that creationism was not falsifiable.

So, according to your understanding, what does the Gen 1:21 mean? How can you tell God does not make more fishes on the Day 6?
The scientific method is more than just a hypothesis, you should all know that!!
I remember in Chemistry, I always had to write a report using the scientific method. And one important factor besides the hypothesis is OBSERVATION!!
Here is the scientific method:
Step 1: Make an observation
Step 2: Ask a question
Step 3: Formulate a hypothesis
Step 4: Conduct an experiment
Step 5: Analyze data and draw a conclusion
The answer is that you CAN use all OR every, by including the qualifier "so far."
However, one does not need to actually write "so far." It can be implied.
If you want to argue that god created more fish on day 6, without mentioning it, that's fine, and a different topic. My complaint about your argument is your claim that every is a subset of all. It's not. You can use either word without changing the meaning of the text.

It matters a lot. [you do not listen, so I won't explain here]
Why are there no cows in the Devonian?
All right. I will argue with you. Let's change an example:
I have a farm of 50 male sheep and 50 female sheep. I pick 25 female and put them in a pan. Then I take you to the pan and write down the following on a piece of paper:
"Every sheep is female".
Would you understand what do I mean?
According to you, this would be equal to "all sheep are female", which is obviously wrong.
Or, should I wrote "all sheep are female" on the paper? Of course, both are not clear enough. But which one is less ambiguous?
Why is my answer to you not good enough?
No no. I mean Every and All may mean different thing if they are not qualified.
Hmm, you seem to have backed down from the challenge of producing even a single source that makes the distinction between "ever" and "all" you are scrambling to set up. What a colossal surprise. Your newest example changes nothing. Again they words only mean different things if you qualify them.
And again you have not addressed the fact that your very own Bible says that what you are doing (making stuff up to add to the creation account in Genesis) is an affront to God. Don't you people take that sort of thing pretty seriously?
Because you didn't answer the question. Even if "every" means what you say it does (which it clearly doesn't), that still does not explain why the order in which organisms appear in the fossil record is not the same in which they were created.
Just to show you that "every" does not mean what you say it does, God, in Genesis 1 is clearly giving an account of the creation of planet earth. He tells us what he created in day 1, then in day 2, etc, very specifically. There is no reason for him to say this:
Genesis 1:21 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.
If he didn't create, you know, every winged fowl on that specific day, he wouldn't say he did. Moreover, why would God give an order of creation if that is not the order in which life was created? Why split it up by days if he kept creating the same things every day? Why be so specific?
But even with all of that, the first organisms created were grass and fruit trees, and those don't appear in the fossil record until much later, after every fish and most land animals. The answer to why that is you have not provided.
I would understand what you meant if you said:
All the sheep (in the pen) are female.
Or, if you said:
Every sheep (in the pen) is female.
Neither is ambiguous at all.
Likewise, I would be equally confused if you claimed:
All sheep are female
Or
Every sheep is female.
It isn't the word all or every that makes anything ambiguous, it is the knowledge or lack of knowledge of what the qualifier is.
You are trying to compare one word, every, where you give the qualifier, with another word, all, where you don't give the qualifier.
This is not an equal comparison, and in fact creates two data sets.
But you could reverse the words, and give all the qualifier and not give it to every, and your meaning would be just as ambiguous.
Anything must have a start. Nobody said what I say does not mean what I said is wrong. In fact, it would be something worthwhile to be published.
Your persistent avoidance of this point tells me that you realize that you are directly disobeying a biblical directive. The irony is delightful.Do not add to His words, or He will rebuke you and prove you a liar. - Proverbs 30:6
No problem on what you said.
The fact is that there is no qualifier used in Genesis 1. So, how would one understand it? In deed it could go either way. But that is all I want, which is: there could be another way to see it. I just want the possibility.
I am going to bring floodwaters on the earth to destroy all life under the heavens, every creature that has the breath of life in it. Everything on earth will perish - Gen 6:17

I don't appreciate your constantly accusing scientists of lying but whatever.
Why are you guys argueing about one word? All fish were created on day 5. That's one physical day. The next day God created animals and humans.
All and every kind of fish was created on day 5.
There's a huge problem. If you want to understand creation, then you can't use the evolutionary time table and the periods, like the devonian WITH the creation story and the flood.
It's not going to work in your head.
If you get the point across that all things were created in one week and the flood came 1656 years after, you will see that things
1. Had time to grow and reproduce and spread out, thats fish, animals and humans.
2. They couldn't have died in the same order they were created.
3. The Flood itself was a huge event that caused a whole heck of damage and change in the plates, eruption, deposition, erosion, etc.
4. Other natural disasters caused more damage and change.
The Devonian period is the narrative of the evolution theory, it has no way of being applied to the creation except if you think of it ib days, not in millions of years
Some do lie or make up stories. I don't make fun of YOU, that is the difference. But whatever, foo
Do you at least accept that domesticated dogs came from wolves? And that wolves are around today?
It's the same concept.
I do not think so, according to this article,
I do not think so, according to this article, dogs appeared before agriculture! And the wolfe that gave RISE to dogs is now extinct!!!!!!!!!!!! Wow!
And you notice in the article they use the words "gradually" then they use "appeared"?
They can never come to a solid conclusion, their evidence is all over the place, they just DON'T know!!!!
