God created predators, including those such as cats that are obligate carnivores, with their digestive systems unable to digest anything but meat effectively.

But he never intended these functions to be used.

Tell us, how many fossilized cat digestive systems have you examined?

I always figured it was more like this:

The Father and Creator stands outside of time. He knew when he created what the end result would be, but even chose to create man, with his intrinsic free will, knowing the results. Only the Father knows what is in the Book of Life.

I think this shows how much he truly loves us creating us anyway, knowing we’d be a “problem child”. However, since he knew the end result he also knew he would need to create the salvation that saves us - thus The Son.

The other possibility I’ve considered is that Eden was outside of Time, meaning that sustenance wasn’t required anyway, and then God put Time in place as part of casting them out of Eden. Or Eden is still outside of Time, but when man was cast out we were placed under the constraint of Time resulting in a similar scenario with minor differences.
