Friday Night Bible Study: Evidence of God: Days Five and Six of Creation

"And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly and swarm

with living creatures, and let the birds fly over the earth in the open 

expanse of the heavens.  God created the great sea monsters and 

every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth

abundantly, according to their kinds, and every winged bird 

according to its kind. And God saw that it was good and He approved it.

And God blessed them, saying, "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the

waters in the seas, and let the fowl multiply in the earth.

And there was evening and there was morning, a fifth day.

And God said, Let the earth bring forth living creatures according

to their kinds; livestock, creeping things, and wild beasts of the earth

according to their kinds.  And it was so.

And God made the wild beasts of the earth according to their kinds

and domestic animals according to their kinds, and everything that creeps

upon the earth according to its kind.  

And God saw that it was good and He approved it."

God Creating The Animals Of The World

(1613-1661)

God said, Let us, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, make mankind in

Our image, after Our likeness, and let them have complete authority

over the fish, the birds of the air, the tame beasts, and over all the

earth, and over everything that creeps upon the earth.

So God created man in His own image, in the image and likeness of God

He created him; male and female He created them.

And God blessed them and said to them, Be fruitful and multiply, and

fill the earth, and subdue it, using all its vast resources in the service

of God and man, and have dominion over the fish of the sea, the birds

of the air, and over every living creature that moves upon the earth.

And God said,  See, I have given you every plant yielding seed that

is on the face of the land and every tree with seed in its fruit: you shall

have them for food.  And to all the animals on the earth and to every

bird of the air and to everything in which there is the green plant

for food.  And it was so. 

And God saw everything that He had made, and behold, it was very

good and He approved it completely.  And there was evening and there

was morning, a sixth day."

Genesis 1:20-31
