Question 4
When did God allow man to eat animals?
Bible
Genesis 9:3
"every moving thing that lives shall be food for you; even as the green herb I have given you."
Answer
Animal flesh was introduced into man's diet about 1600 years after creation. This happened in Genesis chapter 9, which is immediately after the story of Noah's Ark and the worldwide flood. When Noah first got off the Ark, there were no gardens to supply man with the food he needed so God made this provision for man.
