Linear: Actually, it doesn't explain anything very well at all. It says that God cursed the world because of Adam's sin. So, what are the parameters of that curse?

Jeanie: Hope its ok if I interject. I have carpal tunnel so hurts to type much, but basically death.... Adam transformed from being immortal to having blood course through his veins and being able to die. And when he fell so did the earth.... Some say it actually fell to it place in the solar system now from a place closer to God's sphere. It was no longer in an Edenic state....it also became a telestial world.
