The Creationists at the new museum are claiming that all humans and animals were vegetarians before the Fall and that it was God's perfect plan for us to be that way.
If you are a literal Creationist who believes this doctrine, are you also a vegetarian now? I assume that you would want to live your life according to the original perfect plan?

I believe in evolution and am not against the occasional steak, preferably one of the following ways-
"Mexican-style" after being pounded and tenderized, left to marinate overnight with lime juice, fresh garlic, cilantro and salt and pepper. Fry and serve with rice, salsa and eggs, maybe huevos rancheros. Great brunch.
French-style: cooked in butter or olive oil in a cast-iron pan with garlic, Maille mustard, seasoning salt, cream and a little blood. Serve in pan with bread and boiled asparagus.
A traditional breaded hamburger steak fried with gravy and onion.
A round pepper steak cut up and sauteed with some garlic, green pepper, mushrooms and onion.

Jesus Christ did away with the old covenant, which would have us eating veggies.
There seems also, to be a misconception, both among believers and nonbelievers that an all knowing, all perfect GOD could actually misjudge or make a mistake that a fallen creation could step out of GOD's plan and screw it up for him. How do you all miss this? It was not his plan for for mankind not to know evil. He HAD to in order to chose freely and willingly good or evil.
If your had never eaten a chicken sandwich and someone gave you a choice of that or a hamburger, how are you to know which is gonna be better? How could you choose?

God slaughtered the first animal after "the Fall" and made clothes out of the skins. Christians are not be cruel to animals and are to be kind and loving in our dominion over the earth. God gave man the earth to care for it and take care of it, but we've done a lousy job. He also commanded us to take only what we need, but we don't do that either.
Christians should only take what they need and if they have more than they need they should give it to those who do need it.
As for diet, there is alot on the subject in the New and Old Testament. Jesus said, "You are not defiled by what goes in your body, because it only passes through you and goes into the sewer. You are defilied by what comes out of your mouth, because it reflects the evil that is already in your hearts. So you are not defiled by what goes into you but by what comes out of you." That is a paraphrase but you can tell the meaning.
As for other "Creationists" I don't know, but your reference to the Hebrew Scriptures would be limited to Jews, Christians, Muslims, and Christian Heretics (Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormons, Christian Science, etc...).

Yes I am a vegan, actually. No meat, dairy, or eggs. I think that is the ideal way to eat and the way we were originally created, but that God doesn't require it of us right now (as can be seen in later Bible accounts). I think someday we will eat that way again (if we eat in heaven...)

And how do they explain the canine teeth?
Why did God not change the shape and the purpose of meat teeth?
All meat eaters have them, so why?
Yet another load of make believe crock, dreamt up by intellectual retards, without a shred of evidence!

Did you say ".. before the fall"? We are living after the fall. Reread Genesis, the part after that part you quoted. Your answer is there.
BTW, how can a small description of animals at the time of the fall be considered "doctrine"?

"while is the international going to attain that meat is homicide?" You gotta be enormously dumb to think of your burger died of organic motives. "Is the international ever going again to the top that killing and searching for animals is incorrect?those adverse animals are brutalized, taken care of cruely, and slaughtered." Agreed. If it bothers you that lots, hunt your own meat and humanely kill it. "do no longer any of you experience responsible while eating meat, understanding that it was once a residing animal who had a kinfolk?" Animals have not got as lots of a feeling of kinfolk as we do, by way of actuality that some consume their toddlers... "we are able to co-exist in team spirit with animals devoid of looking or killing them. think of what it might experience like if it became any other way around." extremely? flow attempt to stay in a tiger cage and we will see how lots co-latest you will do. "What if the animals have been looking you, how could you experience approximately that?" they war while they are able to. They suceed extra in many situations which you think of. My very final factor is i do no longer kill the cow, I in basic terms make valuable it does not get wasted.

I can not honestly say that God has ever given me a word regarding whether or not to eat meat. I have never asked Him however. Perhaps I shall.

We all know that the Creation Museum is a very literalist interpretation of the Bible and some parts of it seem to beg for controversy to sell more tickets.

I do noy agree tha meat = murder. I am a vegitarian. If you really knew what you were eating you would be too. Before the fall all creatures were vegitarians.
