Nothing died in mortality prior to 4,000 bc.

The trapped in amber thread has an image of a mosquito trapped in amber which raises an interesting question.

What did mosquitoes eat in the garden?

Once again, we see the all familiar post from this crowd...the crowd that 'thinks" but never knows.
Female mosquitoes are known to use blood meal only for the development of eggs.
But mosquitoes actually "eat" flower nectar, and plant materials

That settles it. I'm going back to church.

[_Drifting]

Sadly, it does. Once again you reveal that you misunderstand church teachings and the scriptures (see also Gen 2:23-24). see also Old Testament Student Manual Genesis-2 Samuel page 3-12 (available on LDS.org) http://LDS.org/ensign/1987/11/lessons-f ... ry=eve+rib

sadly, your feeble attempt to cherry pick and substitute context has failed you again.
see my answer about "symbols" being true....
sadly, your translation is not the same as mine.
Unfortunately for you, i take figurative language quite literally...you should learn to distinguish figurative language from "literal" language...i think it might help you understand the scriptures at a level which would enable you to participate in meaningful discussions.

subgenius,

Do you believe that Eve was a real person and that she was literally created by God taking one of Adams literal ribs and using that to literally create her?

Bump because you won't have intentionally missed answering this...

I'm reeling! You have answered your own foolish statement, subgenius (an appropriate name). Yes, only female mosquitoes eat blood. How would they manage in a world where only plant foods are allowed?

[_SteelHead]

Some species of mosquitoes absolutely require a blood meal for successful reproduction.

yes, but when those species came into existence remains to be seen.

But we know none of them died before 4,000 bc right?

this is hardly a carnivorous situation, and thus you are still left wanting....
but please, reel on.

But first, what source are you citing that confirms that a female mosquito would not eat blood and that a mosquito from before the fall required a blood meal.

before the fall, presumably...
the date is not certain...nor relevant....
and "knowing" is certainly not something you are comfortable with

The date, as published by the church, is approximately 4,000 BCE, apostate.

Sorry, let's have a look at what you could've won....

An official chronology bookmark available to buy from the official Church store, clearly showing key dates - including the dates for Adam.

Bad luck old boy....
