'Life' According to the Bible, and the Scientific Evidence | Stambaugh, J. 1992.
CENTJ 6(2):98-121. CELD ID 4805Abstract In an earlier article I focused on the original diet of the finished creation and a search of the biblical record was made with this question in mind. Did God leave His creation in a state where a scarcity of resources, natural selection, or eating of meat existed? The Scriptures suggest that there was sufficient food for all the birds, animals, and man. The Bible expressly states that God commanded the birds, animals, and man to eat only from the plant kingdom. Thus, the statements of Scripture are perfectly clear. Creation was not to eat meat of any kind, nor was resource scarcity a present reality.
