Nobody who honestly reads Genesis could ever make such a statement, which sadly means you are not honestly reading it. Check out where God says “Cursed is the ground for your sake”… “thorns and thistles it will bring forth” … these are massive changes in the whole ecosystem. I’m afraid you are missing what is sitting right in front of your face because you don’t want to see it.
I say that given God elsewhere approves of and provides food for his predatory creations, the “very good” in Genesis 1 does not exclude predation and thus animal death.
A non-sequitur. God giving approval to eat meat in a post-Fall, cursed world, does not indicate it was part of God’s original plan. Indeed, the Scriptures say the opposite.
I don’t see that there’s any reason for me to keep responding to you. You are now cherry-picking what you respond to, and I’ve said all I need to in order to demonstrate your take on the text is not faithful to it’s clear intended meaning.
