Neither of which happen to appear in Cambrian fossil layers.day five introduces animals (sea, land, air) that are self aware creatures and as such manifest attributes of mind, will, emotions.
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.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
