Not saying Genesis is "wrong" about this. It just doesn't add up with what we know historically.

That's true of a lot of Genesis, actually, unless it is viewed allegorically. But the vegetarian part is consistent with a literal reading.

Thank you for the clarification.

I've always thought of Genesis as allegorical, not literal.

IIRC, (supposedly) Moses wrote the first 5 books of the Bible to answer the questions every human had.

Where did we come from?

What's the reason for our laws?

Who are we as a people? (Jews).

For the record I don't think that people who believe the Noah's Ark story are "stupid, flat-earther anti-science kooks. And worse are probably conservative".

Good grief. I take it as stories, that the people of the time could grasp.

Pretty much every major religion has an Adam and Eve.

It's part of who we are a humans. We WANT to know the reason why we're here.
