My point was that recognition of the universal moral law is universal.
Ah, but you weren't talking about a "universal moral law", you were talking specifically about the fall!
Is the concept of original sin and the fall universal?
I think you will find that it is not, yet it remains central to your "degeneration" hypothesis.

I believe the Bible has the perfect truth about all these things.
Doesn't go into much detail about genetic mutation though, does it?

Okay, so this being the case can you tell me what "universal moral law" a Cheetah would follow to avoid "sin" and therefore "degeneration"?

If the fall cannot be factually established or agreed upon then of course it is a poor foundation for a scientific hypothesis.
