Coming-away from weekend RC/inlaw's funeral {all the bloody works = incense, Mass, tout ca} a new qy flickered into muh mind, not thought-of previously. viz: There were of course in Eden all the other [created] critters along w/ Adam & Eve [the latter who were the only HUMAN creatures present there then. Of course there's another version of the story in another place in Genesis..]. I can't find/ nor recall; can someone here {Don? Bill?] please provide a ref/cite {Probably in ThAq, who else?}: Did all the other *subhuman* creatures which of course DO NOT have immortal souls -- Were those "lower creatures" subject to death = wipe-out BEFORE the Original Sin event [alleged! of course, alleged} , = what the Human creature, Adam, did? Since "since by Man came death" ? ... This question, about a totally manmade *fiction*, is totally unimportant & its answer has no here-nor-there meaning at all/ever. It's possible that "Saint" Thomas , the dear deluded man, didn't get to this specific topic; there's a lot he never bothered to treat; dropped his work shortly before he died {relatively young] == labelled it all "all straw". One need not BELIEVE any of ThAq's allegations, to find him jolly middle-of-the-night entertainment. Put you to sleep, if nothing better. Thanks. Abe
