Please list the living animals which came from the ground. You cannot either Scripturally, scientifically, historically nor genetically. Prove me wrong.
Cattle, creeping things and the beasts of the Earth. Genesis 1:24-25.
Now tell me again that there's no Scriptural support.
OK, so as I said, we can't take it literally. Whoever wrote Genesis knew what a day was, and a year, but instead of using the usual terms for very long periods, or actually writing the number of years or eons, etc., they (without explanation) used a non-literal meaning of 'day'.Mathematically, each of God's Days is best understood as an Age. Each Age is some 4.5 Billion years in man's time.
...
The problem is NOT with Science, but with the ancient interpretation of Genesis which falsely assumes that each Day is only 24 hours in man's time.
Quite - either it's literal and a day is just a day, or it isn't literal and a day can mean any suitable poetic interval.There really is no reason to think that the original author thought "day" meant anything other than "day" here. The text mentions seven days and means seven days.
But I also don't think the intent was a play-by-play in a literalistic sense. In poetry words can retain their direct sense without necessarily being intended in a literal and wooden way.
"My love for you is like a red rose." (I'm stealing this example from N.T. Wright) is a poetic statement, the rose here is just a rose, but the use of simile is understood since the idea of the rose is being used in comparison to the love of the poet for their beloved.
So the days of creation are days, in the plain sense; but being used in a poetical narrative for a purpose beyond the mere "this day, then that day" sense. This is why I think the Framework Hypothesis makes the most sense of the text.
Except for all the unsupported assertions that you keep making up that are in no way supported by science, history or genetics.
But you're right, aside from basically everything, they do agree.
You claimed there are almost 4000 rivers in Texas. I pointed out that there are only 15 rivers in Texas. Who was being deceitful?
I notice that you have, once again, changed your claim - Adam's Earth had 4 rivers -> Adam's Earth had 4 streams -> Adam's Earth had 4 rivers. If your argument is irrefutable, why do you flip flop around so much when the pressure is on?
Genesis 1:24
Cattle, creeping things and the beasts of the Earth. Genesis 1:24-25.
Now tell me again that there's no Scriptural support.
Let's not forget humans. Adam was made from dust, and Eve was made from bone.

Seven days is literally a week, not ~32 billion years.

Please be more specific and give us an example of "unsupported assertions" i keep making. Unless, of course, you can't think of any.
Humans were a Special Creation, formed on the 3rd Day Genesis 2:7 by the Hands of Jesus, with a mind and perfect body like that of God. When Adam sinned, he found himself in a body like the sons of God, who were prehistoric people who were created from water on the 5th Day. Genesis 1:21
Adam was later "created" by God the Trinity on the present 6th Day, along with Eve. Genesis 1:27 Genesis 5:1-2 This means that Adam was born again Spiritually at the same time Eve was born again Spiritually and it was AFTER Cain killed Abel.
You're now moving from numbers of rivers to their depths yet still claim not to be flip flopping around?A flat earth doesn't require as many rivers nor were they as deep as found on planet Earth. I don't flip flop around since I support what I write with the agreement of Scripture, science, history, genetics, and math while some TRY give a bamboozle explanation for everything. Either show us that the rivers on Adam's Earth were as deep as on the present Earth or you have NOTHING to support your own personal opinion. Here's the Hebrew word for rivers as used in Genesis:
נָהַר nâhar, naw-har'; a primitive root; to sparkle, i.e. (figuratively) be cheerful; hence (from the sheen of a running stream) to flow, i.e. (figuratively) assemble:—flow (together), be lightened.
A river in Scripture and Hebrew means a sparkling moving body of water. You are hereby refuted. Try again?
Repeat after me: "And God said, Let the earth bring forth"Gen 1:24 ¶And God (Trinity) 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.
Click on the link and go find KJV of Scripture or remain in confusion. Your version eliminates Jesus from His own Creation.
Since you are using an altered version of Scripture which has been changed from its original meaning, I don't accept your version. Find yourself an older version like this from the less altered King James. Your version does NOT agree with the KJV.
Gen 1:24 ¶ And 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.
Gen 1:25 And 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.
His kind? Their kind? Yes. His kind are the common ancestors and thus subject to death. Their kind is God the Trinity's kind which are ETERNAL. Unless you understand the difference between God and Lord God, you will NEVER understand the story of the Creation, since God the Father and God the Son have different roles in the perfect outcome of the 7th Day/Age.
