The Back to Eden Principle

In the beginning, God designed Eden, a paradise where humans and animals were created to be immortal (Rom 8:18–25) and eat a plants-only (vegan) diet (Gen 1:20–2:25). In this paradise, animals and humans were to live peacefully and harmoniously, and there was no harm, violence, or death for either (Rom 8:18–25). In Eden, animals were designed to be friends with humans (Gen 2:18–20)Humans were given dominion over animals (Gen 1:26–28), which was expressed by humans being servants (caretakers) to the animals (Matt 23:11–12), treating them how we want to be treated (7:12, 22:39) and living peacefully and harmoniously with our fellow creatures, who were to live the same way with each other (Gen 1:20–2:25; Rom 8:18–25)
