Dynamic equilibrium.

“But with thee will I establish my covenant; and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons’ wives with thee. And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall be male and female. Of fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the earth after his kind, two of every sort shall come unto thee, to keep them alive. And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten, and thou shalt gather it to thee; and it shall be for food for thee, and for them.”

When God created the earth He made everything perfect. There was no death before sin entered the world, however death came after sin. In James 1: 15 we read: “Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth for death.” This death was now fully conceived after the sin that had taken control of the earth. Before sin came into the world all the animals were herbivores so nothing died, when a plant gives food it remains alive and the plant is pruned.

However, the earth was in perfect equilibrium as God had planned. When sin entered the world, the second law of thermodynamics became active and the earth became a chaotic system. Even though entropy was operating the earth still functioned very well but needed every part of the system to operate effectively. When God created the heavens and the earth, He made an implied contract (covenant) with the earth for He had made something for people to possess and enjoy. When sin entered the world, God made a second contract that was specifically stated in the serpent’s curse. This contract would not operate effectively without the dynamic equilibrium required for the people to continue until the time that the Promised One was born. In order for this to happen, God told Noah to put all the animals in the ark so that the foundation for a fully functioning ecology would be available after the people came out of the ark. God always plans things properly and leaves nothing to chance, unlike sinful humanity who chose a random and arbitrary world after God created an ordered and balanced world.
