Fowl Play!
Today we deal with the following objections from the SAB under the contradictions category:

From what were the fowls created?

From the waters.	From the ground.
Gen.1:20-21 "And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath 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 moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good."	Gen.2:19 "And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof."

There is no problem in reconciling these two accounts. The waters bringing forth the fowl in Gen.1:20-21 says nothing about what the fowl (or the sea creatures for that matter) were actually made out of, but that they came forth from the waters. Similarly, Gen.2:19 says nothing about which part of the ground was used to form the beasts of the field and fowls of the air. The most obvious conclusion to draw from this is that God made the fowl using ground (i.e. earth or soil) from the ocean bed. Why He did this we do not know.

This explanation agrees perfectly with both accounts - they were brought forth by the water, and were formed out of the ground, and dissolves the apparent contradiction.

Let the SAB jump through hoops and do what they can to argue otherwise.

Next we will be dealing with some strange interpretations of what the Beasts of the Earth are.

Bye for now.
