Genesis 1:20-23
20 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. 21 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. 22 And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. 23 And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
Here lies the beginning of a new controversy with those who misunderstand or look for discrepencies in the Bible. When we get to chapter two the birds are made from the earth, but let us be assured that God, as His word says, created the birds and the fowl of the air from the waters, in chapter two we will make the distinguishment between what is written here, and what is written in chapter two. God's word is infallable, it is men who look to find flaw, but the flaw is in ignoring details in the scripture.
