Why the T-Rex Has Such Famously Flat, Molar-Like Teeth

Let us also note that this "very good" creation totally sucked for plants.

This lends itself well to a classification scheme for creations!

In an "excellent" creation, animals get their nourishment through photosynthesis.
In a "very good" creation, no animal would die, so there were no carnivores.
In a "good" creation, you can eat the tasty lower animals, like shellfish.
In a "so-so" creation: steaks for all!

And in a "No way!" creation, the beasts of the sky grew bored with that shit and ate the minstrels.

I suspect we have a "Meh" creation, myself.

Why is it that God is always so hostile towards plants?

So does this mean that born-agains are all vegetarians? I never knew! (How Hari-Krishna of them . . .)

a "very good" creation? Ya know, when I was a Seventh Day Adventist (not to worry, I got over it), I was taught that it was perfect, until that total bastard Lucifer/Satan went and ruined it.

Physicalist: Believe it or not, there are SDAs who are vegetarians precisely for that reason. It was God's "original plan" for mankind.

Yes, try to eat a salad using ONLY your canine teeth, and see how likely that is :)

This is an absolute SHAME, from a vegetables-rights-activists point of view.

It's the plants' own fault for not being able to move. They're much easier to trap because of that. If they had to catch fast fuzzy bunnies for food, Adam and Eve would have starved.

Wasn't the "Tree of Knowledge" a plant? Why, yes, it was, in several senses of the word.

"Wait, what? No animals would die? Like, ever?"

"Animals only die from being eaten by other animals."

"But, but..."

*doink*

Logic commits suicide

Oh, you mean, I have Eve to thank for steaks? Way to go, Eve. You gotta wonder whether snake was the first meat on the menu, huh?

So if no animals would die, as it says on the sign, why bother with letting them reproduce? Wouldn't it get crowded?

Um, does anyone notice the same gaping omission in this above statement that I do? What about fishes?

Genesis says that on Day 5 God filled the oceans with sea creatures, but are we supposed to believe prior to the Fall that sharks ate only salads and the occasional honeydew melon?

Sorry, don't meant to throw logic into the discussion....

I'd like creationists to make their own version of Jurassic Park. "Oh noes the T-Rex is coming to eat... our flowers! Aah!"

Terrifying stuff.

The verse before that one (in the King James Version) says, "And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth..."
Which explains where all the mary jane came from.

i know things says:

if only adam and eve were cast from eden...how did the other animals get out into the world...and if they did not die, why the reproductive capacity? also, why the plant genocide?
did not the Jews eat meat? (except for pigs)... cannibalism forbidden?
did you know that human meat is also referred to as "long pork"?

They were invented afterwards.

No, wait, God invented all the animals and things before.

Ack!

Texas Revolutionary says:

So carnivorous plants ate... other plants? And if nothing needed to reproduce, there would be no fruit or flowers, neither serves any purpose other than reproduction. Without fruit, there would be no forbidden knowledge for them to eat. Ergo, the whole garden of eden is a massive pile of shit.
