No. Only the serpent and the ground from which Adam was taken were cursed (Gen. 3). Adam and Even and the rest of the created order were not cursed although they must suffer the greivous consequences of the Fall. Since the sub-human creation were placed under the dominion of man - the "First Adam" - they suffer man's fate (desease, death and decay). Through the accomplishment of the Second Adam (Christ) the sub-human creation will share in "the glorious liberty of the childern of God" (Rom. 8: 19 - 22).

Not all, the thing that God curse is the serpent that was used by the devil to cause the fall of Adam and Eve while the rest are not. Remember, it is the animal used in sacrifice for burnt offerings.

Indirectly. The "curse" against nature is partially seen in the curse given to Adam for what HE (not Eve) did. See Genesis 3:17-19. There is also an element of curse against nature in the curse given to Satan at Genesis 3:14a, where God says he is "cursed more than cattle." This implies that cattle, and presumably other creatures, were then subject to a curse.
Much later, God gave us the Noahic Covenant (Genesis 8:20 - 9:17). This Covenant is still in effect today and wouldn't have been necessary, except for Adam bringing sin and death into the world. Part of the Noahic Covenant at Genesis 9 states:
2 And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be on every beast of the earth, on every bird of the air, on all that move on the earth, and on all the fish of the sea. They are given into your hand. 3 Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you. I have given you all things, even as the green herbs. 4 But you shall not eat flesh with its life, that is, its blood. 5 Surely for your lifeblood I will demand a reckoning; from the hand of every beast I will require it, and from the hand of man. From the hand of every man’s brother I will require the life of man.
Strangely enough, prior to this Covenant, humans didn't eat meat. With this command, we were told that we could do this, but we are to completely avoid eating meat that has blood in it. It was at this time that animals also began to eat other animals. I would certainly say the "animal kingdom" views this as a curse! Isaiah 11 and 65, and Romans 8:18-22 speak of a day when the curse against animals will be removed.
Peace.

An artist can paint the black blacker than it really is and change colors to suit his mood or his message. When you begin really to think and observe for yourself you will see that even the most cursed animal bears you no grudge . And in Discovery channel they do put up a great show with what people consider ugly creatures. God only loves all that He has made.

No. It was not until after the flood that God told Noah, from this day forward all the animals that fly in the air, swim in the sea, and creep on the ground shall be afraid of you. Which it would seem to me would mean until that point the animals were still peaceable with people.

One more time.
The hebrews wrote of adam and eve first and adam in their language means= giver of life. While eve means= life bearer.
THEY ARE NOT TWO PEOPLE.
That's why there were so many other folks around at that time also.
We are supposed to be the care takers of the animals and as far as I have learned God did NOT curse them.

Yes ... if not explicitly than implicitly ... because he personally killed animals to make clothes for Adam and Eve, and he also allowed man to eat animals (meat) ... something that didn't seem to be a part of life before the fall.

God cursed the snake, because the snake was used by Satan to entice Eve. The snake had legs, and God cursed it to slither in the dirt for all of eternity.

No and human beings are not cursed. Sin is something invented by organized religion to keep people coming back and to explain away the suffering in our lives. We have the power to change how we live but so many people don't believe that. So many believe that we are "cursed" that it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. "There is no other way to lie so we must be cursed to have to live like this," they say. That's a fairy tale we need to wake up from.

Money is money, but carries different weight. Like sin; sin is sin but carries different weight. The sin that Adam and Eve committed paid a heavy price, not only on themselves, but everyone and everything that they had dominion over.
