Animal Death Before AdamAnimal Death Before the Fall: What Does the Bible Say?
1/1/2001 Did animals experience death before the Fall, that is, before Adam and Eve transgressed the creation covenant by eating the forbidden fruit? As one whose training lies in the area of biblical interpretation and theology, I am not qualified to speak on the scientific aspects of this question - although I will state at the outset that I find the empirical evidence for an old earth and universe to be compelling, if not incontrovertible. Animal Death Prevents Ecological Meltdown
10/1/2003 Did animals die before the Fall? Did they kill and eat each other or drop from disease and old age? While this emotive concept troubles many Christians, a recent ecological study from Venezuela can help calm the emotion and bring insight regarding God’s original plan. Avoiding a Dangerous Trap
1/1/1999 Have you ever wondered why most Christian astronomers reject a young-universe interpretation of Genesis? The answer has to do with Scripture and theology, as well as with science. In my book Creation and Time (not to be confused with the book by the same title subsequently produced by Van Bebber and Taylor), I state that the rules of biblical exegesis support long creation days, an old earth, and an even older universe.' If the creation periods are interpreted as six consecutive 24-hour days, other books of the Bible and other chapters of Genesis become contradictory. Creating Creationism: Meanings and Usage Since the Age of Agassiz, Part 1
4/1/1995 Despite a few helpful attempts to trace the development of vocabulary in the public discourse about Darwinism, no one has yet looked closely at the deployment of the terms "creationism" and "creationist" in the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Creating Creationism: Meanings and Usage Since the Age of Agassiz, Part 2
4/1/1995 To compound the confusion about special creation [Was it a recent, six-day phenomenon, an ancient day-age phenomenon, or a dual phenomenon with a gap between "the beginning" and Eden?], its most vocal scientific proponents disagreed markedly over the number of supernatural interventions required. Creating Creationism: Meanings and Usage Since the Age of Agassiz, Part 3
4/1/1995 Such efforts (as "flood geologist" Dudley Joseph Whitney's) to co-opt the creationist label did not go uncontested for long, in part because evangelical scientists who did not subscribe to flood geology could ill afford to have their constituencies view them as non-creationists. Creature Mortality: From Creation Or The Fall?
1/1/2002 A popular doctrine is that animals did not die before the fall of man. This doctrine may be termed original animal immortality. It is presently held among many evangelicals, particularly the group termed young-earth creationists. Its adherents include venerable interpreters from the past. It is presented by adherents as a Biblical doctrine, based on an interpretive scheme built on Genesis, Isaiah, Romans and other books of Scripture. Introduction To The Creation-date Debate
2/17/2009 There are a wide variety of types of creationists in Christianity. By types we mean different interpretations of the days in Genesis. Two overarching views are young-earth and old-earth creationism. Reasons to Believe and others have shown (see links within this article) that it and others believe young-earthism is not the literal interpretation of Genesis and is wrought with interpretational and scientific problems. This article will attempt to introduce readers to this position and why we believe it is valid. Peril In Paradise: Theology, Science And The Age Of The Earth
10/1/2005 Reviewed by Krista Bontrager, MA., M.A. Any old-earth creationist who has ever locked horns with a Christian friend about the age of the earth knows that there is far more to the debate than simply interpreting Genesis 1.

10/30/2009 When people read in Genesis 1 that God describes His creation as "good" or "very good," they often take it to mean that the world was perfect and devoid of all evil. But could this interpretation be a faulty assumption? What Does A "very Good World" Look Like? Part 1 Of 2
11/24/2008 God’s Instructions to “Subdue” and “Rule” Imply the World Was Harsh Before the Fall: One point of contention among those who believe in creation is the issue of death and decay in the original created order. The question, simply stated, is whether or not death, decay, disease, harsh conditions, etc., exists as a part of the world before the fall of Adam. What Does A "very Good" World Look Like? Part 2 Of 2
12/1/2008 God’s Instructions to “Subdue” and “Rule” Imply the World Was Harsh Before the Fall Our last article reviewed uses of the words kabash ("subdue") and radah (“rule”) in the Old Testament beyond Genesis 1.
