'Deep Time' and 'Evolution' allegedly 'falsified' by 'Rigorous' Empirical Research

[Marshall (Marshall Janzen)]

I’m getting whiplash here, Jon. This is from our discussion earlier in this thread:

@Burrawang

I personally believe that the fish that are described as swarming creatures are nephesh (נפש), meaning ‘living being’ creatures

@Burrawang

@Marshall

That belief has interesting consequences. If fish are biblically living creatures, then their death is part of what you consider incompatible with “good” and “very good.”

Fish are living creatures, that I believe were only eaten as food after Adam’s fall in the garden.
It seems you have a blind spot in differentiating between the initial creation and the creation AFTER the fall of Adam that brought death into the creation.

…And now this?

@Burrawang

Both Fish and Locusts do not have the “breath of life in their nostrils” thus they do not experience death in the Biblical sense.

@Burrawang

I have no difficulty with catching fish and cooking them and eating them. Fish are an excellent source of healthy protein, and the reality that the Creator Himself, Jesus ate fish reinforces that.

By changing your mind so easily on whether fish death is okay in God’s “very good” creation, you demonstrate the key point of my last post: you determine what kinds of death are significant based on fickle feelings, not the Bible.
