BIBLE VERSES

Genesis 1:20-23 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that has life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

Job 12:7-10 But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach you; and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell you; or speak to the earth, and it shall teach you; and the fishes of the sea shall declare unto you. Who knows not in all these that the hand of the LORD hath wrought this? In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind.

Psalm 33:8 Let all the Earth fear the LORD: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him. For He spoke, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast.

Romans 1:20 For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse.

THINK SPOT:

God told us in Genesis 1:12 on day 3 of creation week that He created living things, “…whose seed was in itself, after his kind” …whose seed is in itself! Isn’t God amazingly clever?! This solves the famous ‘chicken and the egg’ dilemma… without the chicken there is no egg! There had to be a Creator.
And here in Genesis 1 verse 20, God reminds us of this, that all creatures are made after his kind (family). Is this what we see today? Yes! Whales have baby whales. Dolphins have baby dolphins. Sea horses have baby sea horses. Goldfish have baby goldfish. Peacocks have baby peacocks. Parrots have baby parrots. And chickens have baby chickens. We see plenty of variation within kinds (think: finches), but NOT EVER do we observe one kind naturally changing into another kind.
When we see a building we know there is a builder; when we see a painting, we know there was an artist. And when we see creation, it demands a Creator. Creation is speaking to all those who will listen.

CREATION DAY 5 ~ INFORMATION FOR KIDS ~ FREE PRINTABLE

Creation Day 5 – Fish Swim; Birds Fly (creation.com) On the 5th day of Creation Week, the Earth was ready to support animal life. God had made water, soil, air, and plants and fruits for food. He had also created the sun to give light and warmth. Now God created Earth’s first inhabitants—the animals that live in the sea and those that fly in the air. Once again, He simply commanded them all to come into being, and they did… The Bible tells us that God made each one of these animals ‘after its kind’… God simply gave the order that there should be living creatures in the sea and in the air, and they came into being. God’s powerful Word was fulfilled exactly the way He said; illustrated article for kids from scientists who take the Bible seriously.

Creation Week: Day 5 (answersingenesis) On Days One through Four of Creation Week, God formed a beautiful earth, filled it with beautiful plants, and created the heavens and the sun, moon, and stars that fill them. He did all of this in just four days! What did He do next?

Creation – Seven Cs of Gospel history – article for kids (creation.com) from scientists who take the Bible seriously; By Day 5 God had made the Earth ready to support life. So next, God commanded the seas to teem with fish, along with all the other animals that live in the water. These included large ones like whales and plesiosaurs, and small ones like krill and zooplankton. God also created the flying creatures—birds, bats, bees and pterosaurs—on this day. Genesis chapter 1 says that God created every fish and every bird “according to its kind”, and He commanded them all to “be fruitful and multiply”. This means that each was to make baby animals just like itself. Not one of them evolved from anything else, and not one of them has ever evolved into anything else; more Creation articles for kids; free printable

101 Scientific Facts (eternal-productions) written in the Bible centuries before they were discovered, like these:

The Bible states that God created life according to kinds (Genesis 1:24). This agrees with what scientists observe – namely that there are horizontal genetic boundaries beyond which life cannot vary. Life produces after its own kind. Dogs produce dogs, cats produce cats, roses produce roses. Never have we witnessed one kind changing into another kind [nor is there any scientific evidence for it!]
Creation is made of particles, indiscernible to our eyes (Hebrews 11:3). Not until the 19th century was it discovered that all visible matter consists of invisible elements.
Blood is the source of life and health (Leviticus 17:11; 14). God declared that “the life of the flesh is in the blood”, long before science understood its function.
‘Chicken or egg’ dilemma solved (Genesis 1:20-22). Which came first, the chicken or the egg? This question has plagued philosophers for centuries. The Bible states that God created birds with the ability to reproduce after their kind. Therefore the chicken was created first with the ability to make eggs. Evolution has no solution for this dilemma.
Which came first, proteins or DNA? (Revelation 4:11) For evolutionists, the chicken or egg dilemma goes even deeper. Chickens consist of proteins. The code for each protein is contained in the DNA/RNA system. However, proteins are required in order to manufacture DNA. So which came first: proteins or DNA? The ONLY explanation is that they were created together.
The Earth was designed for biological life (Isaiah 45:18). Scientists have discovered that the most fundamental characteristics of our earth and cosmos are so finely tuned that if just one of them were even slightly different, life as we know it couldn’t exist. This is called the Anthropic Principle and it agrees with the Bible which states that God formed the Earth to be inhabited.
Law of Biogenesis explained. (Genesis 1) Scientists observe that life only comes from existing life. This law has never been violated under observation or experimentation. Therefore life, God’s life, created all life.
Animals do not have a conscience (Psalm 32:9). A parrot can be taught to swear, yet never feels conviction. Many animals steal, but they do not experience guilt. Where did our conscience come from? The Bible explains that man alone was created as a moral being in God’s image.

Created KINDS (answersingenesis) include a snippet in your letter; God made each family (kind) totally different from any other family—and one family can’t naturally change into another family. God designed things that way… You are in a family, too…

Animal – fun facts for kids (answersingenesis) Birds; Fish; Sea Animals

Made to Fly (answersingenesis) There is good evidence that humans have seen flying reptiles, and there may even be some of them alive today. The Bible says that God created ‘winged creatures’ on the fifth day of creation. This would have included flying reptiles like pterodactyls. Fun information for kids about flying reptiles from scientists who take the Bible seriously.

Creation Day 5 (answersingenesis) God made lots of variety – facts about dragonflies; vertebrates / invertebrates; the sea is a fascinating world of wonder and colour. Even in the dark depths of the sea some very strange and wonderful creatures have made their home. Tom and Jenny learn about entropy; ‘Tom,’ said Dad, ‘There’s a state of high entropy in your bedroom. Please go and put some ordered energy into the system!’ Tom knew very well what his father meant, because his room was in an awful mess, but he liked new words. ‘What‘s entropy, Dad?’ he asked.

TAKE A TWO MINUTE HOLIDAY: Fish and birds are engineering marvels, compelling evidence alone for an incredible Creator. Different species of sea creatures have been designed to live within specific ocean depths. And just think about all the controls inside an airplane needed to fly. All of that is packed inside a tiny bird. Visually stunning and presented by PhD scientists full of awe as they explore our Creator’s handiwork and what it reveals about His character, power, wisdom, majesty and care.

nextmanga.com (for purchase) The story of the universe in manga form. A comic book Bible series that keeps kids/teens (and adults!) riveted. Book 1 (Mutiny) tells the story starting from creation in Genesis 1 and up to time of the Exodus from Egypt (somewhere around Exodus 15). And I love how they have added a few extra frames of background history to give a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the true villain of history. The top angel (a created being like us) rebels against the Creator; is kicked out of Heaven; becomes God’s arch enemy; and arrives on earth to create mischief, mayhem and havoc with (as he sneers) ‘God’s favoured ones’ – humans. To rob, kill and destroy. Buy and send a few pages at a time. It’s also an excellent gift idea for a sponsor visit. My kids loved these. Monica told us that it was her favourite book. :)
