24 And God said, “Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: livestock, creatures that move along the ground, and wild animals, each according to its kind.” And it was so. 25 God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.
Now remember that the Geocrationist perspective here is that, as I write about in “Let” (borrowed from Glenn Morton’s Days of Proclamation Theory), that God removed an insurmountable hindrance to the animals mentioned in the verses above. But, what was preventing …

And God saw that it was good.
26 Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that …

20 And God said, “Let the water teem with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the expanse of the sky.” 21 So God created the great creatures of the sea and every living and moving thing with which the water teems, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. 22 God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the water in the seas, and let the birds increase on the earth.” 23 And there was evening, and there was morning—the fifth day. — Genesis 1:20-23

In Does “Full Humanity” Predate Homo Sapiens? (Part 4 - Pre-Adamism), I quoted part of an interchange between Stephen Jones and Glenn Morton, where SJ acknowledged Anamensis existence 4.2 mya. Here it is for your convenience:
GM: As I have mentioned, there are a few fossils which have Homo-like affinities from 4.2 MYR ago. You seem to forget that.
(see Brigitte Senut and Christine Tardieu, “Functional Aspects of Plio-Pleistocene Hominid Limb Bones: Implications for Taxonomy and phylogeny”,in Eric Delson, editor, Ancestors: The Hard Evidence, pp 193-201)
SJ: I don’t “forget that” at all. As Glenn himself says, they are “fossils which have Homo-like affinities from 4.2 MYR ago”. They …

A little over two years ago, I started writing a series on whether Full Humanity predates Homo Sapiens. It was basically a review of Glenn Morton’s theories on humanity. I found (and continue to find) them fascinating. He wrote of pre-homo sapien humanoid species that manifested features that would appear to us as being uniquely human. Making the case has allowed him to suggest that Adam and Eve were alive 5.5 million years ago, and that Noah’s flood was shortly thereafter. Though I am not inclined to agree at this time, the arguments seemed reasonable enough to review. I then wrote the following three articles. Now, please keep in mind that my thinking haschanged a bit since then. In particular, …

7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.
As discussed in Genesis 2:4-7 - Moses Recorded the Evolution of Man (Part 1) and Genesis 2:4-7 - Moses Recorded the Evolution of Man (Part 2), God created man from the dust of the ground, starting 4.5 billion years ago. He then “finished” perhaps as recently as 10,000-15,000 years ago, just before modern agriculture took off. To be specific, that is when God breathed …

In Genesis 2:4-7 - Moses Recorded the Evolution of Man (Part 1), I showed how the following verses accurately describe the world, about 4.4 - 4.5 billion years ago:
4 This is the history of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens, 5 before any plant of the field was in the earth and before any herb of the field had grown. For the LORD God had not caused it to rain on the earth, and there was no man to till the ground; …

4 This is the history of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens, 5 before any plant of the field was in the earth and before any herb of the field had grown. For the LORD God had not caused it to rain on the earth, and there was no man to till the ground; 6 but a mist went up from the earth and watered the whole face of the ground.
7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man …

3First of all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires. 4They will say, “Where is this ‘coming’ he promised? Ever since our fathers died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation.” 5But they deliberately forget that long ago by God’s word the heavens existed and the earth was formed out of water and by water.
To my Young Earth Creationist friends, verse 5 is clear evidence that the earth is young. Why? Because Evolutionists do not believe that the earth was formed out of water and by water. On the other hand, Genesis 1:2 says this about …

Thus far, I have been spending this year in a study on righteousness. My reason for doing so on an Evolutionary Creationist website is that a lot of answers to my Ultimate Questions for God seemed wrapped up in the concept of righteousness, and so I wanted to make sure that truly understood it, the best that I could. And so I’m going through the verses on righteousness. Well, in studying the “righteousness” verse of Jeremiah 33, I came upon the following passage, which to me speaks directly to creation, and indirectly to the age of our earth [emphasis added]:
19 The word of the LORD came to Jeremiah: 20 “This is what the LORD says: ‘If …
