This is my biggest bugaboo with those that state that

evolution is compatible with creation.

The first thing that God observed wasn’t “good” was that Man was alone.

Mutation, disease, death & predation amongst His other creations is “good”?

Genesis also specifically states that plants were the food for every creature.

The thing about eating veggies changes in Genesis. Prior to the flood there appeared to be some sort of an antediluvian peace during which everybody ate veggies. After the flood God tells Noah and his descendants that they can kill and eat animals. That would also correspond with the end of man’s ability to communicate with the other animals.

The first thing that God observed wasn’t “good” was that Man was alone.

Yet, He was the one who put man there by himself.

“This is my biggest bugaboo with those that state that evolution is compatible with creation.”

Yep, they are not compatible, even if Genesis is allegory, the whole premise the Bible assumes is nature is in need of redemption.

Death, carnivory, and the shedding of blood are part of the curse. I can see why the natural mind think we're nuts on this subject. The idea that a T. Rex was once an herbivore seems about as likely as a human being being supernaturally raised from the dead.

Also note, death, we are told, entered when Adam fell. Obviously this did not happen in the evolutionist view of things, where things were dying by the billions long before Adam came into being.

Thus, evolutionary thought lifts the curse! And without a curse, who needs a Savior?
