It seems we will continue to have problems with this classification and it may be because it comes under the heading of creation rather than preservation.

Following the creation concept that creation processes differed from preservation processes, it is suggested that God endowed each created kind, at the time of its creation, with potential for vast variety.

But, when Scripture makes a clear distinction between the act of creation and the process of preservation, we cannot accept the idea of a progressive creation process.

There are also scientific problems with the concept that each of the creation days was a long period of time.

Time was God's first creation.

Being made in the image of God, man was the crown of creation.
