Death?

If everything that made up life came together so perfectly, what is the reason for death?Under the Creation model, the reason for death is clear: the sin of man. God made life perfect (as it should be), but as punishment to man's failure to obey death entered the world.However, I can see little reason as to why death should occur under an evolutionary model.

Although you explained the cause of death fairly well, I still wonder why it occurs at all.Death simply seems to make more sense under a Creation model.

You make a good point, however eating fruit from trees does not kill the tree. It seems to me that carnivores' eating habits would change when Adam and Eve were banished.

--This can be used toward people that beleive that because things have sharp teath that they have to eat meat, and that before the Flood everything could have eaten vegetation.----------------I agree that it is possible that before the flood that everything can be sustained by vegitation. The energy needed for those animals that are now carnivors comes form other animals. Those animals got there's form eating vegitation. So thus everything gets what it needs from plants.
