God creates all of the creatures of the sea and every species of bird on the fifth day. If scientists had found birds in the Cambrian layer (or even a halibut), we'd all be creationists today. There are extremely few --if any!-- species from the Cambrian period which had not become extinct by the time the writer of Genesis described the fifth day of creation.
