6. Man was intended to be vegetarian. (Gen 1:29)
7. Animals were intended to be vegetarian. (Gen 1:30)
8. Eve was described as a comparable helper for Adam (Gen 2:20)
9. There is no indication that the serpent saw Eve as easier to tempt than Adam (Gen 3:1)

About the photograph:
When I first saw the scratches in the dirt, it was a dry day. Of course, on the day it struck me to snap a photo after my reading, it was a rainy day. The effect still makes me ponder about the first people and their struggles with being human.
