I’m not too worried about your assertions regarding what Scripture actually says.
You might check out this link from post #11, before you insist:

Read the article. have a couple of problems with it, and also have some agreement. Granted, I am not a Hebrew scholar, but Nahmanides was no Christian, and rejected his own messiah, testified to in the Torah, Psalms and prophets. Nevertheless:
First, the article states:
"consider the days of old, the years of the many generations" (Deut. 32:7) Nachmanides, in the name of Kabbalah, says, "Why does Moses break the calendar into two parts ― 'The days of old, and the years of the many generations?'
I highlighted the "and" because when he quotes the scripture, it ain't there, and when I checked 19(!) other translation into English, and the don't have that non-contrasting conjunction either. Interpreting scripture on words it does not contain is isogesis.
Second, I don't buy into Kabbalah, and the four levels of interpretation of all scripture. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. Or, and a good biblical hermeneutic rule states: If the plain sense makes sense, seek no other sense. Occam's razor.
Third, if his assertion at the end of the piece is correct, and dino's in the dirt are billions of years old, then the following conclusions can be drawn:
1. Dinosaurs lived and died, and ate each other, prior to Adam's arrival
2. God created plant life, and it existed untold numbers of years before the sun arrived to fuel photosynthesis
3. God created animals with the intent purpose of them eating each other
4. God observed this and called it good. Death, suffering, disease, predation, all of it, "good"
5. God formed man, the king predator, and called it all very good.
6. God finally decided to give all animals something to eat, green plants, every seed bearing plant and fruit bearing tree, at the end of day 6. Guess that explains that explains point 4 above.
7. Obviously, beacause of the above, death far pre-existed Adam's consumption of the fruit.
The Bible plainly teaches Death came because of the sin of one man, Adam, (Romans 5:12) and that all creation is under a curse because of Adam (Genesis 3:17, Romans 8:20). Both of these refute the ideas set forth in the article, especially as they relate to items 3 & 4 above.
Believe what you want, but be careful about assering things that directly contradict the Bible, both OT & NT.
Oh, and Madonna is a Kabbalist, good company.
