[How do you explain smaller animals that could not have lived in the wild. I own a maltese dog, which you may know is a really tiny (yet cute) dog. If Adam and Eve's children had children, wouldn't they be inbreeding and be retarded?]
It wasn't wild in Eden, the animals were friendly, even talked.
Inbreeding didn't exist then, as the genetics were different.

As usual, dad makes a wild assertion to cover a gaping hole in his religion. No research, no source citations, but, for dad, any crack-pot claim can be used to support his theology.
From almost anyone else, this would be worthy of a "Bizarre Creationist Assertion of the Month" Award. But from "dad," this is hardly even a warmup for his wild fundie imagination. Papabear nailed it; "dad" is practically a freakin' civil engineer for building castles in the sky.

And that's in the Bible where? Sounds like another quote from the Authorized Pull-It-Out-of-My-Ass Version of the Bible.
Yeah, that friendly talking serpent really fucked things up, didn't he? And apparently, the animals were smarter than Adam & Eve, too, since the talking serpent could talk Eve into doing something God had told them not to.
dad, you're embarrassing yourself. Take my word for it since I know you don't realize this, because you're just too damn ignorant.
So THAT'S why Adam and Eve were kicked out of the garden; they were 'monkeying' around with God's genetics lab! And they broke his 'Flux Capacitor'.
(at the watering hole in Dad's version of Eden)
Gary Gazelle: Hey, Leo, how's it hangin'? What are you up to today?
Leo Lion: Eating fucking grass and leaves again. How the hell do you guys handle that stuff? It makes me sick to my stomach.
Gary Gazelle: Oh, god made our insides especially for grass. Check out the teeth. See that? Lot's of flat area, and our chins move side to side, it REALLY helps if you can properly masticate.
Leo Lion: OW! Fuck all! I bit my lip again!
Gary Gazelle: Yeah, I was going to ask you; What's up with those big pointy teeth of yours? They sure can't help much with grass-chewing.
Leo Lion: Yeah, no shit, huh?
(Teddy Tiger whispers quitely into Leo's ears, Leo is grinning)
Leo Lion: Hey Gary. Sounds like Adam and Eve are making some changes around here. And when they happen, me and Teddy here are gonna FUCK YOU UP!
Gary Gazelle: Guys, c'mon now. It's me! It's Gary!
Leo Lion: (slapping his forehead) Well duh! THAT'S why we got these big-assed claws. It all makes so much more sense now! I was lying down with a lamb and having a nap and I swear the smell of that little bastard was giving me a hard on!
"Inbreeding didn't exist then, as the genetics were different."
This is the standard fundie solution to this problem. Adam and Eve were fresh out of god's factory, their genetic code had not been degraded by sin/cosmic rays (radiation was blocked by the vapor canopy) so inbreeding didn't cause the problems it does now.

Darn it. I feel like I grew stupid from reading that comment.
This is as stupid as Ray Comfort's argument with the banana.
The tiny dog is a product of selective breeding by humans, just like the "normal" yellow banana.
Retardation is not the only risk of inbreeding. Every gene-born malady runs a higher risk of presenting itself, with fewer new genes in the mix.
What kind of fossil evidence do you have for animals being friendly and talking?
"Wolf O'Donnell (SWHQ)
Imagine if he didn't reference Eden. Imagine if he wasn't Christian. I bet people would think he was mad and have him institutionalised."
One of Richards Dawkins oft-repeated peeves. We'll accept the craziest shit if it's wrapped in Christianity, an undeserved level of respect not present in other beliefs has been granted to Christian beliefs.
Since this has been extended to Christian politicians it's becoming a real problem, people who aren't qualified to lead are being put in office in America entirely on their claimed religious convictions.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
