Creation Day 7 How Man's Sin Temporally Paused Paradise

219

The science behind "sin" and "death" It’s hard for us to imagine what life must have been like before sin entered the world. But when God created Adam and Eve, He meant for them to live in a perfect world forever - a world without death or sickness or conflict or evil of any kind. But when Adam and Eve sinned against God, all of creation was also affected. Sin - like a deadly, savage cancer - invaded the whole creation, and everything about our world changed. The Bible says, “sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all men, because all sinned” (Romans 5:12).

A ccording to Genesis 2:16-17, if Adam and Eve obeyed God's command "not to eat the forbidden fruit from the Tree of Knowledge of good and evil," the answer would be YES !! How is that biologically possible , you might ask? The answer is telomeres . Question: If Adam and Eve never sinned, would they still be alive today?

Watch this amazing video that explains how God placed telomeres, protective protein caps at the ends of our chromosomes. Like the caps on shoelaces, telomeres keep our cells from aging. The rate at which our telomeres shorten determines how fast we age.
