I also think it is quite possible that God created Adam and Eve with a functional immune system and maybe it was useful to them even before the fall.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13441809988487585009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9661811.post-1110355607247008962005-03-09T03:06:00.000-05:002005-03-09T03:06:00.000-05:00Seems to me that germs and insects (such as misqui...Seems to me that germs and insects (such as misquitos) qualify as <A HREF="http://www.blueletterbible.org/kjv/Gen/Gen001.html#25" REL="nofollow">"creeping things that creep upon the earth."</A>This would place them in the order of creation just prior to the creation of man. I don't believe any new things were created after the fall, seeing as how God had rested from his work of creation prior to the fall.

There weren't as many harmful strains early in human history, which could have been one of the factors leading to the long lifespans of the earliest humans.<br /><br />God ordained before creation existed that His son would die for the sins of a fallen world. I think it's reasonable to think he would have had the foresight to include a perfectly functional immune system in Adam.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9661811.post-1109633054384997142005-02-28T18:24:00.000-05:002005-02-28T18:24:00.000-05:00Sorry for the delay, but I just got around to chec...Sorry for the delay, but I just got around to checking Technorati.<br /><br />Thanks: your post does help and I appreciate the time and thinking that obviously went into it. Your post also reminded me that I had forgotten to answer my own question - well, more accurately, to dodge my own question. I'll do that in my next post.<br /><br />Thanks again!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13441809988487585009noreply@blogger.com
