  nope u're right
  
  it's in Genesis 3:22
  
  so how like that? does it mean that even at the Garden of Eden, Adam was meant to die?

  there's really very scant mentioned of dinosaurs in the bible. depending on how people argue, i vaguely remember that i think there was this beast bohemoth which people thought was a dinosaur? also thos that subscribe to the young world theory would advocate that dinosaurs didn't roam the earth millions of yrs back but rather only thousands. and they also question the validity of carbon dating, though i would take this with a pinch of salt

  we are all familiar with the creation story, how everything was made good, etc. But because of the fall of Adam came original sin. and the wages of sin is death.
  
  so why must animals die then? they committed no sin and beore the sin of adam everything was supposed to be good wasn't it?

  For starters, we need to understand the definition of "death". Is it physical "death" we are talking about here? Obviously not, nothing last for ever, and depending on the genetical make-up, the only issue is the time. Some things live longer, others shorter.
  
  So if we are not talking about physical death, then we can suppose that "death" here is spiritual. The eternal separation from God.

  why animals dying is bad? Science tells us they provide fertilizers for living things when they die.
  
  It is all a cycle.

  fair enough. sounds logical
  
  so u reckon that when during adam's time, death was already prevalent?

  something similar to my previous post. so when God created Adam, he was supposed to die? even though he was made in God's image and all?
