Hello Bex, just to be clear:

We also have to remember that after the fall, when sin entered the world everything was on a decline and imperfection entered a once perfect world/environment and creatures.
Is just an(other lame) excuse for not having an explanation. What it means in the end is that you can use creationism to explain anything, and that nothing can be predicted from these "explanations" ... in other words, all they do is pad your comfort zone.

"(X) will happen except when it doesn't" is the ultimate two-step dodge.

I don't think we have any conception how incredible things must have been in the beginning. We may get glimpses of it perhaps, but compared to how it must have been, this probably doesn't come close.
Yep, fantasizing over what may have been, especially if things were entirely different (Jeanie's "lots and lots of variables") is a fun pastime.

It just is not science until you test it against the objective evidence of reality (not that you or anyone claimed it was, but I just want this point to be clear).

Enjoy.
