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.
COMMENTARY: Great whales is not the best translation: better is the term "great sea creatures" to include the great fish as well as whales. Taninim is used elsewhere to describe the serpent, (Ex. 7:9,10,12) and the dragon (Ps. 148:7; Is. 51:9;Ezek. 29:3). There is no evidence whatever, either from paleontology or genetics, that whales or great sea monsters could have developed from land animals. The theory of evolution claims that the first animals in the oceans were microscopic single-celled creatures, and that whales (sea cows) had to evolve from four-legged land mammals, which in turn evolved from cold-blooded marine creatures. Thus, they would have devolved!
