It supports my contention that one cannot believe in evolution as it is taught in science class, and also believe the most important truth of Scripture; that is Jesus' death for the redemption of man's sin.
I think it is your contention to just be anti-evolution and denigrate the beliefs of others. Just because your belief is narrow-minded and based on the teachings by men wanting to control your mind is no reason for you to assume that others cannot lead a more enlightened life.
Nothing in the bible conclusively rules out animal death before the fall. Plant death is clearly implied.
