Until my science studies at college taught me that animals have been dying way before Adam and Eve were created I just wonder how can JW's and Christians continue to teach their members that Adam and Eve's sin caused death to enter into the world. This is utterly "wrong". And I was shocked to see in a recent "Awake" magazine that the WT society actually acknowleges that animals were dying way before Adam and Eve came on the scene. I have several questions to ask. First off all why do religions teach "Sin and Death" go hand and hand. Do Animals sin? Also why would Jehovah create animals just to cause them to die off? What would be the purpose. And again does Science prove the Bible to be full of Contradictions? How do we reconcile the Flood story with the Dinosaurs?
When JW's and Christians teach that Adam and Eve's sin caused death. Wrong!

Wow, I never thought about it like that.
This is why JWs aren't allowed to go to college :P . -

As a kid this always bothered me. I remember asking Dad why animals die since they don't sin. His answer was so that Adam and Eve could understand the meaning of death. I then asked why animals kill each other and eat each other if God wants them to be vegetarian in paradise. He said that it is because Satan even has an influence over them at the moment. I was never really satisfied with these answers.

You could explain every thing with god and satan "magic". The most stupid thing I heard ( it was on JWD, someone was relating what a teacher said to there kid) god put dinosaurs bones in the ground to test our faith.

There's a lot of things that just don't make sense. I always thought it was cruel to create any creature to suffer and die for no purpose. Still do.
