Were predators and prey created at the same time?

Question

If 2 lions (male and female of course) and 2 antelopes were created at the same time, did the lions have to wait till the antelopes had reproduced before satisfying their hunger?

Answer 1

You would have to go back much further in time.  When one cell latched on to another forcing it to be a single organism.  So yes, you could have had two cells that would that someday would be lion cells going after two cells someday being antelope cells.  There were many cells at that time.  Or something like that, anyway.

Answer 2

Probably...It is possible that the predator and the prey were of the same species.  But the prey of one predator was the predator of another species.  I'm referring to the times before the dinosaurs lived.

Answer 3

You do know that we can't answer that, right? I don't think that only 2 lions and antelopes were created. There would have been more than that and I believe the theory of evolution (Ok, maybe some of it) so yeah.

But if the situation was true, the lions probably ate the antelopes.

Answer 4

certainly throws a wrench into the creationism argument, doesnt it..  lol

Answer 5

Yeah, that's a real conundrum. I just wonder why they didn't all get it on and produce little lionalopes that ate themselves.

Answer 6

NOBODY knows.

Answer 7

The question is logically flawed. Creationists would give some supernatural explanation and you could leave it at that.

In evolution there wouldn't be "Two (whatever) created" so the quetion wouldn't arise

Answer 8

How old are you? A lion rest nearly 18hrs that is after feeding how can the antelope reproduce within such a short period of time. YOUR PROBLEM IS YOU ARE NOT THINKING i want to ask you WHY ARE YOU NOT DOING SO. THINK PLIZ

Answer 9

Kinda makes you wonder, doesn't it?

Answer 10

No, the food must be there in abundance before some critter evolves to take advantage of the prey.  Typically some critter switches prey (say it stops eating bananas & bugs then starts to eat some animal that is abundant.)

Answer 11

Very stupid question!

Answer 12

I don't know if this helps, but I read that the first appearance of snakes was 100 million years ago, and possibly because they started showing up on a lot of other animals menus, by 60 million years ago, the first venomous snakes started appearing (perhaps as a survival/defense mechanism, to protect themselves from being eaten)!
