Perhaps they see this as God's plan because this was how things were at the very beginning. I'm curious, does that mean we should run around naked because that was, using the logic that literal Christians use, God's plan?

and let's not forget what the Bible says about Adam and the animals:

Genesis 2:18-20 Then the LORD God said, "It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him." Now out of the ground the LORD God had formed every beast of the field and every bird of the heavens and brought them to the man to see what he would call them. And whatever the man called every living creature, that was its name. The man gave names to all livestock and to the birds of the heavens and to every beast of the field. But for Adam there was not found a helper fit for him.

so it certainly sounds like God's plan for MAN was that he'd pick out one of the animals and marry it! oh the fun of reading scripture literally!
