“At the end of Day Six, God said all was “very good” (Genesis 1:31), which means no death existed on earth because death is not good “
An extremely illogical conclusion. No where in the Bible does it say ‘death is not good’. Death is ‘good’. Death is completely necessary for ‘life’. Death was the first thing on this planet. Viruses are ‘death’. Viruses are ‘dead’ until they find ‘food’ and they make ‘life’ possible. Without them, life would have ceased on Earth a LONG time ago.
The ‘fall’ of man had to do with mankind NOT following the will of GOD. God gave us ‘free will’, and Lucifer told GOD it was a mistake, because they would choose POORLY. Lucifer was correct. That was proven when Eve and Adam ‘ate the apple’ (which is another figurative simple explanation for something that was a long drawn out process, but no one at the time Genesis was written would have understood it).
I think you meant to write "bacteria" instead of "viruses."
But I agree with your basic objection, and would like to add my assertion that the death of animals (accidental or otherwise - e.g., by other animals, or by men, for nourishment) is non-moral, insofar as animals are without souls.
Regards,
Without death there can be no birth. A world like that would be totally static, which is not good.
death WAS NOT NECESSARY for life before the fall, that is the point of God declaring his creation good.
there is nothing illogical about that at all.

death was not supposed to happen, if it was, then god would not have declared his creation good.
Death is called the enemy, how can you say ‘nowhere is death called not good’.....calling it the enemy is more than enough.
