Abaxvahl,
you made a hasty reference to Isaiah 11 as a “return to Paradise.” Let me take a look at that chapter.
The wolf will live with the lamb, the leopard will lie down with the goat, the calf and the lion and the yearling [Hebrew:;Septuagint lion will feed] together; and a little child will lead them.
The cow will feed with the bear, their young will lie down together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox.
The infant will play near the hole of the cobra, and the young child put his hand into the viper’s nest.
They will neither harm nor destroy on all my holy mountain, for the earth will be full of the knowledge of the LORD as the waters cover the sea.
Isaiah 11: 6-9 NIV
This is a prophecy of the Messiah, although it seems to be a prophecy of Christ’s second coming, since all these things did not happen during the first coming. I am well aware that many people take this to mean that animals will stop eating each other in the Millennium, or after the Second Coming. I think it is far more likely that the animals in this passage symbolize nations or countries. The wolf and lamb, leopard and goat, lion and yearling mean that large, powerful and prosperous nations will live in peace with nations that are fewer in numbers and not militarily powerful. That is a much more likely interpretation, and it goes along with Isaiah calling the Messiah the Prince of Peace. (Isaiah 9:6)
And that's why you are having trouble believing the truthfulness of what God revealed about creation--you are too ready to make the scriptures say something you agree with, rather than being ready to agree with the scriptures.
But at least you use the phrase "much more likely", which hopefully means you are willing to consider the words in a more literal sense.
Could you tell me why you think there couldn't be a time in the future when an actual wolf will live with an actual lamb without one eating the other, or when an actual lion might actually eat straw? I'll give you an example where it happened in scripture.
We know that Nebuchadnezzar was a meat eater, because when the Hebrew young men, Daniel and his 3 friends, were fed the king's food, they asked to eat something better instead ("pulse" in the KJV, "vegetables" in other translations, but it shows that Nebuchadnezzar ate meat).
[Dan 1:5 KJV] 5 And the king appointed them a daily provision of the king's meat, and of the wine which he drank: so nourishing them three years, that at the end thereof they might stand before the king.
Later, when Nebby got too full of himself, God humbled him and he ate grass:
[Dan 4:33 KJV] 33 The same hour was the thing fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar: and he was driven from men, and did eat grass as oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till his hairs were grown like eagles' [feathers], and his nails like birds' [claws].
Now, you might want to re-interpret this to mean that Nebuchadnezzar was really a kingdom, and the kingdom was at peace during this time, but that's not what God prophesied to him in his dream:
[Dan 4:24-25 KJV] 24 This [is] the interpretation, O king, and this [is] the decree of the most High, which is come upon my lord the king: 25 That they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field, and they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and they shall wet thee with the dew of heaven, and seven times shall pass over thee, till thou know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will.
And to reinterpret this one, you would have to say that both the prophecy and its fulfillment, as described in the book of Daniel, are not to be trusted to tell us the truth of what happened.
