OK, I see where your cuteness is heading. No corruption, decay or death. You’re assuming that, by decay, I mean the biological action of bacteria feeding off of vegetable matter, whether digested, or as fallen parts of plants. Remember, no animal matter. They didn’t die.
So, try to think of decay as the decline due to disease (corruption) and the deline of aging, much like an old building is described as decayed. That sort of decay, not bacteria feeding.
To continue, running with this string of suppositions, based upon what is known from Genesis, I’ll suppose bacteria had plant matter and fecal matter to feed off of, in the absence of dead animal matter. In this way, their behavior changed, possibly just opportunistically, after the fall, much as man had to toil to produce food from the ground, plants sprouted thorns ... they were cursed, and is still, LomanBill. All Creation groans in anticipation of liberation from it. You do recall that, don’t you? I’m jumping out of Genesis and into Romans. If you want chapter and verse, I’m sure you’ll let me know.
Does that help you out?
>>Remember, no animal matter. They didn’t die.
You’ve admited dung contains bacteria.
Did these bacteria die when their habbitat dried out in the sun?
And what did spiders do for food before the fall? What did they catch in their webs?
>>I’m jumping out of Genesis and into Romans.
Ah, but I don’t think evolution is ungodly at all; just it’s misdirected abuse.
Don’t let loman suck ya into the ‘no death before fall’ trap- God made it clear He was referring to man and beast only as being perfect- they like to play the ‘gotcha’ game by twisting what Creationists beleive, and twisting God’s word- there was no death from sin which resulted in KILLING before the fall- KILLING refers to the taking of the life of species with a soul- heart mind and breath- Sin caused death for nephesh- the bible makes htis very clear- Before the fall God said IF- IF you eat of hte fruit you shall surely die- Before the fall, man and animals did not die- The anticreationists silly little attempts at the ‘gotcha game’ show an obvious lack of understanding of God’s word:
“Because eating a plant can kill it, some people claim that death was part of the original creation. The Bible makes a distinction, though, between plants and animals. This distinction is expressed in the Hebrew word nephesh, which describes an aspect of life attributed only to animals and humans. Nephesh can be translated “breathing creature” or “living creature” (see Genesis 1:20–21, 24). Plants do not possess this nephesh quality and so cannot die in the scriptural sense.
The original creation was very good. According to Moses in Deuteronomy 32:4, “His work is perfect.” Obviously, things are not like this any longer.
