Now can "the fall" explain the increase of human knowledge, the advancement of science and technology, the Renaissance, and the modern world? Why are we living so much better than our ancestors? According to the fall we should be getting worse. More epic fail from our resident creationist.
This is another thread that is way out of my league for me to discuss but your post is way out there.
I've never once heard this argument used by anybody. The Fall was a one time event that obviously affected everything but nowhere in the biblical account of the Fall is there mention of mankind digressing after this. Where is it mentioned anywhere in the Bible that man is digressing because of sin. If you believe the biblical account of the Fall and sin there isn't a progression of anything...in the end, the result is eternal life or eternal damnation, but nothing of a progressive digression of life, technology, or science.
Really the only thing that digressed was a moral order which was restored with the death and resurrection of Christ.
