Creation Moment 10/29/2024 - Echo of a pre-Fall world

"Instances of cross-species adoption. E.g., in the wild, a lioness adopted a baby oryx , and a leopard an infant baboon. Adoptions like these puzzle biologists. From an evolutionary perspective, what matters is how many copies of your genes make it into the next generation.

From the perspective of Biblical history, however, animal adoptions and other evolution-defying examples of suppressed carnivory are a beautiful echo of a pre-Fall world without death or pain. Also, a reminder of the biblical prophecy of such a time to come (The wolf shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the young goat, and the calf and the lion and the fattened calf

together; and a little child shall lead them. The wolf and the lamb shall graze together; the lion shall eat straw like the ox, and dust shall be the serpent’s food. They shall not hurt or destroy in all My holy mountain, says the Lord. Isaiah 11:6; 65:25)."
