Jim, you have forgotten what we were discussing. We were discussing what the
Bible says, not what type of offspring you and I have spawned. Please get
back to the issue.
Genesis 1:22 says in KJ version "Let fowl multiply in earth"
This says nothing about HOW fowl are to multiply. "fowl is the subject,
"multiply" is the verb. The sentence does not say
"Let fowl multiply AS FOWL in earth." To interpret it that way is adding 2
words to the scripture.
It also does not say
"Let fowl remain fowl"
or
"Fowl will always be fowl"
nor
"Fowl can only change into other birds"
The issue was Where does it say in the bible that animals can only give rise
to animals exactly like them? I am not exactly like my parents and neither
are my kids exactly like me.
Christians are reading into these verses what their theology requires; they
are not reading what it says.
