Genesis 1:30 says that God gave every beast of the earth plants to eat, so we know that the animals which today are carnivorous were not killing for food. Theres no Biblical implication that any other form of animal death occurredin fact, all Scriptural evidence denies that it did.The text says that God found His creation good. Does good include sickness and death in His eyes? We know it doesnt.
Yep, it wasn't until Genesis 3, verse 21 that an animal death occurred.
