Q:
What does vegetarianism have to do with the fossil record?
A:
In Genesis 1:29-30,
the Bible says:
And
God said, 'See, I have given you every herb that yields seed
which is on the face of all the earth, and every tree whose
fruit yields seed; to you it shall be for food. Also, to every
beast of the earth, to every bird of the air, and to everything
that creeps on the earth, in which there is life, I have given
every green herb for food'; and it was so.
God's
Word tells us that Adam and Eve-and the animals-were vegetarian
before sin. However, sin changed everything. In Genesis 9, right
after the Flood, we read that God told Noah that man could eat
meat from that time onward.
This
is an important point. In the fossil record, there are numerous
instances of fossils of animals with bones of other animals
in their stomachs. These fossils showing carnivory could not
have formed before Adam sinned. Yet, if you believe in millions
of years of history, these fossils contradict the Bible's account
of history.
The
Bible's account is true-man's ideas are fallible.
