So sharks ate salads?
God's creation is perfect. However, you cannot logically leap from the fact that is perfect to the conclusion that there was no death or physical decay.
Read the creation account again. Eden was a special place, different from the rest of the earth.
Being of a totally unscientific mind at aged 80yrs old I have had time to occasionally think about life death and creation. I would be very interested if I could explain my thoughts... first on life and death which has been going on for a long time with nobody or no thing to come back here and tell us what happened to them. Possibly some kind soul could explain to me why this old fool is quite comfortable with the idea of death...which in my case could happen at any moment I guess.
I feel comfortable with the idea that nobody ever dies! To my simple train of thought we are all run by electricity which passes from our brain to our body and instructs it what to do...nothing happens in the sack of mostly water and salts that make up our bodies...(the beautiful people might not agree with this but it is true nevertheless.)
At the moment of death the electrical spark that has governed our life for years leaves us and probably moves to the nearest negative/positive charge...ready to move on to the next mission it is needed for. I would guess that the ancients thought along these lines also...but having no word for electricity they called it the “spirit” which was leaving the body.
I know I am going to be shot down in flames for even thinking this...but I don’t really care...it gives me peace of mind to think that possibly a part of me will still be here to help this old earth live out its life.
As for creation......well somebody or something had to construct the electricity that runs every darned thing you can think of...!!!!!!
By the way just in passing...is it possible to destroy electricity?
