Pre-fall?

Advanced Theology
LinearAq writes: How could there be a pre-fall snake entombed in rock if there was no death before God took their legs away? Damned good point. Ask a Christian about it, is my advice. This kind of advanced theology gives me a headache.

Re: Pre-fall?
One way to think about the Fall is to think of it in non-linear terms. Think of the universe as space-time, not space moving through time. The introduction of death would of necessity affect the past, present and future.

Re: Pre-fall?
past, present and future So in this analogy the deity would be like Dr Who. That's pretty good, Dr Who is very popular in the science classes. And it would explain why there's three of him sort of overlapping there.

Re: Pre-fall?
No, it's just a fact that if you introduce such a novel property to the laws and principles making up space-time, from a modern scientific perspective, it is reasonable to think all of space-time would have to have this property.
