Abstract
In his article on "Disease and Dying" (PSCF 51 [December 1999]: 226), Clarence Menninga quotes Henry Morris as having written that there was "nothing bad in that created world, no hunger, no struggle for existence, no suffering, and certainly no death of animal or human life anywhere in God's perfect creation ... no carnivorous activity at that time." In his article, Menninga shows, I think quite convincingly, that the existence of death and disease in the pre-fall world is not inconsistent with biblical teaching, that the "goodness" of creation need not be taken to exclude death and disease. But Menninga did not directly comment upon Morris's reference to carnivorous activity.
