Look at ANY good Hebrew Lexicon and see what the word "replenish" in Gen. 1:28 means.
And the KJV is one of the ONLY to use the word "replenish" in Gen 1:28 in it's translation.
as for "after their own kind" this speaks of the Bird after the Bird Kind, Fish after the Fish Kind, Cattle after the Cattle kind ect...
In NO way does this speak of a recreation.."Look at ANY good Hebrew Lexicon and see what the word "replenish" in Gen. 1:28 means.

Mate, I don't have one. What does it say 'replenish' means?
I must say, I disagree!
So if a bird is made after the bird kind, what was the original bird kind like that the newly created bird was made like?
And if a Fish is made after the fish kind, what kind of fish was it that the newly created fish was made like?
And if Cattle was made after the cattle kind, what kind of cattle were they that the newly created cattle were made like?
God originally never created one bird, cow, or fish. God created hundreds of thousands of them, even millions of them originally, then He destroyed them and all the earth and flooded it all. He then re-created the earth, created Adam and Eve, re-created all the birds, animals and fish and told them to go and re-plenish the earth! as he told Noah after his flood.
Have a go at explaining the differences in the two floods taught in Scripture. I cannot come up with any conclusion that does not clearly and plainly show two different world wide catastrophic floods, one much worse than the other, one destroyed ALL LIVING THINGS the other never destroyed all living things. One had no light, the other had light, etc.
The word "replenish" in Gen. 1:28 in the KJV is in the hebrew language
male' and means to fill or be full.
To look at versions Earlier than the 1611 KJ Bible I think you will see what I am here saying.

1530 Tyndale Bible

1549 Matthew Bible

1583 Geneva Bible
1:28 And God blessed them, and God said to them, Bring forth fruite and multiplie, and fill the earth, and subdue it, and rule ouer the fish of the sea, and ouer the foule of the heauen, & ouer euery beast that moueth vpon the earth.
I think you can see what I was speaking of. It wasn't until the 1611 KJV that
the word Replenish in Gen 1:28 started those who studied from it to belive in a Pre Adimite world.
