  1. Hot off the press: What Does the Bible Say About Dinosaurs? https://www.jw.org/en/bible-teachings/questions/dinosaurs-in-the-bible/
  2. Hi Anna, I appreciate this question. Predation actually contributes to ecosystem stability, playing a critical role. Viewed this way, predation then contributes to the overall "peace among animals." See for instance this article by Dr. Fazale Rana, an old-earth creationist biochemist: Animal Death Prevents Ecological Meltdown http://www.reasons.org/articles/animal-death-prevents-ecological-meltdown
  3. Faunal carnivory and predation were created by Jehovah from the start and in no way contradict Isaiah.
  4. Gen 1:29 specifies vegetation for humans. Gen 1:30 is not stated as directly for animals who also ate carrion when Gen 1:30 was declared. Thus, it is not declaring that all animals were created as herbivorous. Stating otherwise, that it does, is a misinterpretation. "BY whom?" The Governing Body. They used to teach that all animals were created as herbivorous. Apparently, not any more. Hurray!!! That's progress.
  5. There were no problems in the ark because they were separated in cages. Also, one Watchtower said: Also, any hypothetical carnivores on board did not require their same degree of energy in the ark that they needed on land. So any fodder given to them must have been satisfying before falling into a state of relative torpor.
  6. That the interpretation that all animals were created as herbivorous is no longer held.
  7. I stopped reading after "I do not pretend to be an expert but".
  8. Hi Arauna, Actually the T. rex had eyes on the front of its head, having binocular vision. Additionally, a T. rex's tooth was found embedded within a hadrosaur's vertebrae, and a coprolite that matches with T. rex had bone fragments in it. (See footnotes 2 and 5 of my article On Predatory Dinosaurs http://jimspace3000.blogspot.com/2013/09/on-predatory-dinosaurs-faunal-predation.html.)
  9. Jehovah created predation as well as prey with defenses against predators. Predators using poison then to kill their prey is really a reflection of Jehovah's endearing engineering. Also, Genesis 1:30 does not teach that all animals were created as herbivorous, as that is a common misunderstanding. Additionally, God did not alter the fauna after Adam's sin or after the Deluge to function within a predator-prey dichotomy--as there are no scriptures stating that, and which could even be seen as a contradiction of Jehovah resting from creation.
