If Adam and Eve had never sinned, and death was never brought into this world...how would all the billions, trillions of life forms that followed, through reproduction, of had a place to habitate?

If nothing ever died...where would all these creature had lived??

Did the curse of death also effect plant life, and ants and termites??
There is no scriptural indication that other lifeforms apart from mankind were ever created with the potential to live forever. Eternal life in reference to our material realm is always scripturally linked to reasoning human creatures who choose to accept God's guidence and universal sovereignty. Also, God told Adam and Eve to multiply and fill the earth. Once the earth was full then multiplication would no longer be necessary and would logically cease. Otherwise there would be an overflow since the earth is dimentionally finite..

Gen 1:28
God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it.

But the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, so that he would not let the children of Israel go.
 
Ex 10:27 -
But the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he would not let them go.
Ex 11:10 -
And Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh: and the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, so that he would not let the children of Israel go out of his land.
Ex 14:8 -
And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued after the children of Israel: and the children of Israel went out with an high hand.
 
De 2:30 -
But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him: for the LORD thy God hardened his spirit, and made his heart obstinate,
 
 
I am sure that before Moses met Pharaoh, Pharaoh had often times hardened his own heart against justice and became the tyrant that he did.

It is written,
PROV 29:1 "He, that being often reproved hardening his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy."

Pharaoh had come to the end of the line with God when he met Moses and so God used him to show that good overcomes evil.

God foreknows a mans nature but does predestine a man to be so evil and will have the last word. He will magnify the evil of a mans heart by coming against him thus provoking him into showing his true colors.
