==Not really. If we were vegetarians before the fall and moved to a more carnivorous lifestyle after; this would be moving away from a dependence upon nutritional Vitamin C not towards it.
You are quite right, and that’s what I get for staring at a computer screen all day and all night. Let me put the question to you the correct way. If God had originally intended for us to eat fruits and veggies, then would it be fair to say that creating us with a non-functioning Vitamin C Synthase gene would be a simple means to that end?
There are many reasons why humans are omnivorous. Lack of the ability to synthesize Vitamin C is one of the lesser ones. We are assured of being omnivorous because it is what our body tells us to eat.
Moreover there is not just this one curious data point to consider, there is the entirety of the genome of humans, chimpanzees,gorillas and orangutans. There are numerous pseudogenes and ERV’s that are shared between all four species. If one takes the sequence of all four and matches them, the two most similar (or identical) will almost always be found to be the human and chimp sequences, the one that is most different would be the orangatang and the one in the middle would be the gorilla.
Why would we have retroviral insertions in exactly the same spots and identical pseudogenes with these animals that are our closest anatomic relations if not for common descent? Why would the difference in sequence always be less (or nonexistent)when comparing chimps and humans than when comparing humans and orangs? Common descent makes sense of ALL these thousands of data points. De-novo design cannot give a satisfactory explanation for their existence in the first place.
