That's not my question, but leads to it indirectly. I have recently begun to suspect that the seventh day in Genesis need not necessarily end God's creative activity. I wonder if one could build a case for God creating certain kinds of creatures after the fall. I've thought of the Book of Hebrew's "spiritualizing" of the seventh day in passing in relation to this and thought it may be relevant.
Anyway, the question is: does the seventh day necessarily limit God's creative activity? Even with the knowledge that micro-evolution is true, it is hard to build a case that the Angler Fish pictured above came about from an ancestor that was - presumably - originally herbivorous. In other words, a young earth creation account (which I do not hold to) that limits God's creative activity after the 7th 24-hour day seems highly difficult for me to believe in the light of the theory of evolution. Any thoughts? More thoughts about evolution to come sometime in the future.
