Creation Science — Attack and Defense Structures

Biblical creation science is usually rejected out of hand by misotheists and other believers in dust-to-dispatcher evolution, but they seldom examine whether or not it is internally consistent. Our view covers a great deal of ground because it involves theology as well as science.

Creationists maintain that God created everything very good and creatures were vegetarian in the beginning. What we see now is carnivory, attack and defensive mechanisms (some of which are very impressive), and parasitism. Something must have drastically changed between creation and today.

The origin of those things admittedly involves speculation, and we have to be consistent with both the Bible and science. (Darwin's disciples evosplain with speculation and arbitrary assertions, then pretend they are offering scientific conclusions.) Creatures need to eat, others do not want to be eaten. It is reasonable that (among other factors), the Master Engineer frontloaded genetic information in critters to switch on after the Fall of Man. Some of these seem to have had other uses before the Fall, and are occasionally seen today.

In the beginning, God made everything very good. That means the world was perfect. There was no sin, no death, no suffering, and no disease. The animals were all vegetarian. Yet the world is no longer that way. We see all manner of disease, parasitism, and carnivory. Some of these examples are both brutal and repulsive. Why do we have a world like this? What changed, and how did it come to this?
