Hi all! I'm new here to the board.
I grew up in a christian home. My father was a baptist minister with a masters degree in biblical studies. Everything in my life was about my faith, worship and creationism. But since childhood, many questions popped up in my mind that challenged what I had been taught.
The animal kingdom and man were all herbivores before the flood, according to the belief of some Christians. This stems from the passage where God tells Noah that man can now eat the flesh of animals. This implies that before the flood, Man was not allowed to eat meat. Some Christians have taken this a step further, and have made the assumption that all living creatures did not eat flesh.
This brings up the topic of flesh eating plants. Were Venus Flytraps vegetarians? I think not.
Let me hear your thoughts on this.
