Therefore, if God's original intent was for man and animals to be carnivorous, then He made a mistake in Ge1. It is taught that the death referred to in Ge 3 is spiritual death only. But the passages above seem to indicate that both deaths were instituted there. This position is a resurgence of heretical Pelagianism. In addition, every other time this Hebrew word is used in Scripture, it refers to physical death.
Problem is Scripture seems to indicate that all creation has been marred terribly through sin.
See above Scripture. In this way, they get past the obvious contradictions in order of creation between the Bible and evolution. For example, the Bible has birds before insects, but evolution requires the reverse. Day four then must take place before day one, because you cannot have light before you have a sun. Some will attribute some aspects of creation such as the appearance of stars and planets to naturalistic means.
