You can make symbolism out of it however the Bible does not... show me where the Scripture allow for it to be symbolic in Exodus passage...

I don't think anyone has suggested that the Cambrian Explosion is not a puzzle without a full set of answers. What I am arguing against is the persistent claim that there is no evidence for the existence of ancestors. That is just plain not true.  There is substantial evidence of fossils that pre-date the Cambrian, which is strong evidence of life forms present on the planet over millions (and even billions) of years, and not all coming into existence in a 144-hour period.

Exactly so.    Before Ediacaran fauna were known, it was thought that the Cambrian marked the appearance of complex living things.   Now we know that complex animals, including some that appear to be primitive sponges, arthropods, and so on, existed long before their assumed appearance in the Cambrian.

As you learned, the Bible makes that symbolism.

As you see, the text itself does that.   There cannot be literal mornings and evenings without a sun to have them.    And Exodus merely repeats the figurative text in ordering the sabbath.

No this is not possible for you have God building upon death and that is heresy plain and simple

No, you're just adding your own ideas to scripture here.   Christians are not obligated to believe them.

Christ is the life not death and It was Him that created all....

Yes, but that says nothing about whether living organisms He created ever died. Exactly zero of your references are referring to death of organisms.

It is a massive, and unwarranted, inference to take what the Bible actually says to mean that nothing ever died before Adam’s sin.

the error you are making is placing The Creator subject to His creation … 
God has no restrictive elements and clearly the Scripture supports this of God

Luke 1:37

37 For with God nothing shall be impossible.
KJV

for saying God cannot have unless there also is something else is to make created substance co equal to the Creator of and that is just foolish....

clearly we are of a different mind in this...
The Corinthian passage is referring to physical death...

So, does this mean you are admitting that the other verses are not, and are therefore irrelevant to your point?

Could you please show where the Corinthian passage states that no other living things died?

You are adding your own interpretation to what the Bible actually says.

No, that's  wrong, too.   God is truth and not the author of confusion.   Logically, one cannot have mornings and evenings without a sun.
