You could only eat fluffy things that didn't really have a substance.

And it didn't sound like so awesome to be there for eternity when you described that.

But remember, too, Zach, the flood is kind of what we're talking about with the crucifixion and the resurrection.

The flood ties in to the garden because once you have a post-sin world,

And we've also talked about this interaction between the other beings, angels, Satan, all that.

And we know there was some cross-pollination going on.

Genesis 6.

So the flood was an extinction event to change the results, at least temporarily on the earth until Jesus got here, of what happened because of sin in the garden.

Don't you agree with that?

So the fact he changes, not only was it all these people died.

I mean, think about it.

Whoever was alive at that point died except for one family.

So it was a mass extinction, I believe, to get rid of the effects of this cross-pollinization between the sons of God and the sons of man and whatever was happening there with these Nephilim and whatever was happening on Earth.

And obviously there were still some genetic things because you still saw some of these giants.

I'm saying there was a direct extinction event for a reason.

So it makes sense to me that then God would even change the way we view animals going forward because it had changed.

The garden was idyllic, right?

I mean, without sin, it was an eternal setting in and of itself.

As long as they keep eating from the tree of life, they were going to live forever.

I mean, it's just charting its own course.
