A theological-biological explanation of “the original sin’s transmission”

[AntoineSuarez]

@AntoineSuarez

The solution 1 entails that for Adam and Eve the extra-human reality was different before and after the fall: Before the fall the whole creation (Eden) was not submitted to decay.

By contrast, the solution 2 entails no difference regarding extra-human reality; the fall affected only the human condition.

I would like to add a remark before concluding this thread:

Both solution 1 and 2 can be considered miraculous as they invoke states that deviate from the regularities of nature we are used to. Nonetheless the miracle invoked by solution 2 affects only the relationship of humankind with the extra-human world, while the miracle invoked by solution 1 affects the whole reality.

According to the law of parsimony one should prefer solution 2, in agreement with my theological-biological explanation.

So, the interesting proposal by @pacificmaelstrom seems also to confirm this explanation after all. Many thanks to you Jamie and to all who have contributed to the fascinating discussion.
