    “Below” is used as a stranded preposition in your case (the more generally accepted usage), whereas the original post uses it at an adjective. While usage of “below” as an adjective is not universal, it is still accepted by some dictionaries. I could only find the Webster English Dictionary as an example, so I suppose it’s mostly exclusive to American English. So yes, your example is the more universal mode (as well as my personal preference), but American English generally accepts the above usage as proper grammar. (The sentence above, as well as this one, demonstrate the usage of “above,” a relative locus, as both an adjective and a preposition in modern English).

    But the insects came after sin. Yes, all animals were there because evolution is wrong, but insects aren’t animals because they come about via spontaneous generation /s

    The logic of the 17th century. Although modern creationists have updated it to “all orders / families are a Kind (whatever the hell that is), but insects are their own Kind so there was just this one really nice bug and parasites magically started evolving after the fall.”
