			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On the 5th day, God filled the skies and seas with all kinds of sky-life (&#8216;every sort of winged bird&#8217;) and sea-life (&#8216;swarms of living creatures&#8217;).  Everything that flies through the sky.  Everything that lives in the sea.  A few points:<span id="more-983"></span></p>
<ul>
<li>Someone a lot more biologically inclined than myself could (probably? if indeed such short-lived organisms exist?) give examples of fast-reproducing organisms (microbes, gnats, etc.?) whose life-spans are only a few hours, and thus <em>would have died on the same day of their creation</em>.</li>
<li>According to &#8216;mature creation&#8217; theory (creation created &#8216;mature&#8217; &#8211; light already in transit from distant stars, trees with [very misleading!] annual rings only moments old, etc.), there would have been very, very &#8216;mature&#8217;-slash-about-to-die birdies and fishies created, some of which &#8211; conceivably &#8211; <em>would have died on the same day of their creation</em>.</li>
<li>Also, unless not one, single, fish-eating bird dipped down and tasted of the delicious bounty of the shimmering little fishies below, at least some fish <em>would have died on the same day of their creation</em>.</li>
</ul>
<p>Beyond conceivable doubt, even given a 24-hour day understanding of creation (with 6, successive acts of &#8216;spontaneous creation&#8217;), there would have been <em>physical</em> death before the events of Genesis 3.</p>
<p>((note: I see no reason to doubt that the text of Genesis 1 was originally a poem/song expressing theological truths, as opposed to being a play-by-play, moment-by-moment, fact-by-fact account of the &#8216;how&#8217; of creations&#8217; origin.  Thus, the nit-picking-ly detailed exercise above ought to be unnecessary &#8211; but is merely noted in reference to those who insist that there could have been no death before the Fall.))</p>
