![]() Dinosaurs and the lost paradise![]() Did animals eat meat before the Flood?
Did this habit begin right after Man’s first sin? Probably not. It is certainly not likely that animals instantly changed into the way they are today. These habits probably developed naturally in man’s sinful world over hundreds and thousands of years. And they may not have become common until sometime after the Flood.
By the time of the Flood, most animals must still have been able to live on plant foods alone. Every basic kind of land animal and bird in the world was on the Ark. They ate only plants during the voyage. For God told Noah to load the ship with every kind of food the animals would need (Genesis 6:21). There is no hint that God changed this command between the time of Creation and the Flood. Before the Flood, there may have been no need for animals to kill each other for food. ![]() NEXT - When did animals begin to kill and eat other animals? Copyright ©, Paul S.
