Also, Adam lived for nearly a thousand years, therefore that would also fit the degenerative picture.
Given that medical science has doubled our lifespan,
What??? Obviously you have never read Genesis. Now just what are your excuses for assuming that I would incorporate YOUR worldly mindset?
You are putting us on, right? Having a bit of fun, no?
For the sake of examining this argument let's pretend there was a perfectly designed Adam who lived a thousand years and he was a perfect implementation of a perfect design. Then it seems to me that some sort of evolution/de evolution must have happened to replace his retinas and give him an immune system, etc.
Are you really saying God designed a perfect human and then replaced that design with our current genetic information in a fit of anger that his own "perfectly designed creation" didn't function up to his expectations? Talk about having a problem with self defeating anger! I'm beginning to understand why he might come up with the idea of sacrificing his own son as a solution for his angry cursing of his perfectly designed creation.
