God gave us canine teeth to rip and tear meat....but in the garden Adam and Eve didn't need to eat meat....

well maybe Adam didn't have canine teeth, just plain chompers? Or he didn't need canine teeth until he was out of Eden. God is great isn't He? He sees thru all time and space and is in control of everything, even our teeth!...Show more

The question assumes Adam and Eve had canine teeth. Do we know this for a fact? If we don't know for sure that Adam and Eve had canine teeth, how can a person hope to give a valid answer to the question. All one can do is give rank speculation.

The Bible itself speaks of many variations within the human species.

Leave this to one of the many things humans are unable to answer authoritatively....Show more

God gave us teeth. There is nothing in the Bible or any other religious book that says God gave us canine teeth to rip and tear meat. Scientist decided that all on their own, after they decided that we all came from rock soup.

Maybe they were wrong in that decision also. Maybe we have canine teeth so that the root vegetables and leafy vegetables would be easier to eat/rip/tear. I really don’t know for sure why we have them and neither does any one else. There are just theories about teeth just are there are theories about many other things.

3 things:

1. Because God knew Adam and Eve were going to sin, and He knew nothing was going to stop them from sinning, so He placed Canine Teeth on us, cause He knew where Going to adapt into eating Meat.. and such

or

2. If that wasn't the case, well before Adam and Eve didn't sin, the canine teeth were strong enough (without pain by biting hard) could of been for hard fruits and such like pineapple, and such.. put it this way..

no sin = no pain, no pain= strength to were you wont feel pain by breaking hard things and lifting heavy things. so everything was perfect. :)

so it was either placed on us cause He knew the future of our fate, or It was for hard fruits since there was no sin to where we will feel pain and they both were healthy enough to be strong..

or
3. both of the above...Show more

To be honest, I have never considered whether Adam and Eve had canine teeth or whether humans adapted them after the fall. I kind of put this in the category of whether Adam had a belly button. Or where fleas came from (and weeds).

But if you are able to see God's provision in this, you are right. We are fearfully and wonderfully made, by a loving Creator....Show more
