Did that include bacteria? Because if it did, Adam and Eve would have been waist deep in sludge in almost no time. And just in case you're thinking about saying that bacteria didn't come about until after the whole eating-of-the-fruit incident, I will point out that not all bacteria are bad; some are even necessary to keep the ecosystem going.

sheepinarrowboat: No, I'm not waist-deep in bacteria now. And that's because bacteria are dying all around me. If there was no death in the Garden of Eden, and meant that no bacteria died either, then bacteria wouldn't have been dying, and therefore accumulating everywhere.

No word about bacteria in the Bible.

When Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit, then the death of innocence occurred in the Garden of Eden. Because the garden was pure, God kicked Adam and Eve out of the garden and placed angels at the entrance to prevent any human from entering it again.

There was at least no death for humans. But the world was according to Jewish tradition anyway a lot difficult, so I imagine that indeed bacteria might indeed have died in Gan Eden.

No, Adam and Eve left that garden long before they died. They were banned from the garden and got old and decrepit elsewhere. If bacteria were there, they hadn't yet become dangerous, at least not to humans.

It was a whole different dimension if there was no death, it was etheric. And there is no need for bacteria on that plane of existence.

apparently we and each and each of the animals of the global lived jointly in team spirit and in reality ate flora. Why were a number of those different animals created then? I wager the creationists won't be able to respond to.

you do not know much about bacteria or how they grow... in a certain cell density, they drown in their own waste.. and die themselves, so they do not accumulate...
adam and eve did die.....not immediately...so they could have some kids first...but they did eventually die..
