Intriguing. I remember a sermon I heard once when I was still a creationist. It actually startled me into my course away from that way of thinking. The speaker said that lions and tigers ate grass before the Fall because there was no Death, so they couldn’t be meat eaters.

My immediate response (silently, of course), in spite of my creationist background was: “What? So the creator gave them sharp teeth for tearing after the Fall? Otherwise they would have starved trying ‘shred’ grass. And what about the life of the grass? Is it only ‘Death’ if it is animal? Next he will try to tell me Adam and Eve did not have rectums, since they were yet unnecessary.”

I ought to add that I really liked this speaker on every other topic.

Of course, there are more sophisticated examples that are too detailed to get into, like host-virus specificity, bacteria and immune mechanisms. Oh, and mosquitoes . . .

And to be fair, there are answers: All that stuff is either the result of the satan or the creator, subsequent to the Fall. Or the time between creation and Fall was short enough that all that was already built into creation for its known function as soon as Humanity screwed up (and a sub-theory to this that there was no necessity for eating etc. at all before the Fall because everything somehow ‘lived’ off of the creator’s own life).
