- “Dinosaurs ate plants before [Adam and Eve sinned]. How do we know this? God created the world and said it was “very good!” Everything existed in perfect harmony. We also know that all animals were vegetarians because of what we find in His Word– Genesis 1:30, ‘And to every beast of the earth, and to every bird of the air, and to every thing that creeps upon the earth, which has life, I have given every green herb for food: and it was so.’ Some scientists use the argument that dinosaurs had sharp teeth– therefore they ate meat. However, today Giant Pandas and many other species of bears have sharp teeth (similar to large meat eating cats like lions), and they are vegetarian. After the fall, everything changed. The world was no longer perfect as God had created it. At this point it is possible that some varieties of dinosaurs became meat eaters.”
