okay, so there is a difference between sin and fallen? Do you agree that this place is fallen? This place became fallen somehow. Are you agreeing with me that satan caused it to fall after being cast out? Just being fallen didn't give us the ability to sin here. Something had to happen to unleash that ..like what happened in the Garden.
i do believe in the corruption of the earth and of the heart of man. i even believe in total depravity.
but Romans 5:12 is not establishing that there was another race of mankind before God created the first man, and it is not any kind of evidence whatsoever that the material world is sinful on the basis of it having physical existence.
we have free will. the angels have free will. there has always been the ability to sin, else Satan could not have, because God is not the author of sin, and Satan absolutely 100% fell before mankind did.
Satan deceived Woman in order to cause Adam to fall. he used her as a proxy to get to him, because he could not deceive him and he would not commit sin on his own. Satan forced him into a dilemma by fooling his wife and leading her to sin. Adam had to choose between abandoning her, joining her, offering himself as a sacrifice to redeem her, or taking no action and waiting to bring her to God. he chose to join her, and in doing so sin entered the world ((even though she was first in transgression)) -- this has nothing to do with the creation of physical dust; it happened long before Adam himself was created, for he was created out of dust.
what Paul is getting at in Romans is that sin entered the ((physical, material + spiritual)) world through Adam and polluted all of it, both through those who know righteousness and neglect to do it, and through those who do not know righteousness and neglect it unwittingly.
this is not about Satan creating the physical universe. this is not about wave collapse being a result of evil. this is not about a mysterious unknown race of soulless men not mentioned or even hinted at in scripture. this is not about spirit becoming linked to flesh. this is not about baryonic & non-baryonic matter. this is not about mystical lies and it's not about vain blasphemy.
it's about free will, about the passing of death through bloodline, and about sinning in ignorance vs sinning in open rebellion.
You didn't catch my view change. This place isn't sin anymore ..it is fallen. It is in darkness. God the Father is limiting His own knowledge of it. We are separated from God the Father here. If something wasn't physical ..it was before Satan was cast out. So the question is, did humans have souls beforehand? I'm admitting that the Garden is physical now ..just without decay, death, or entropy.

Maybe I should be giving the credit of the wave collapse thing to God. God could design the Universe and then set the history to match whatever He physically made. Satan could still be disorder though ..so he can be the reason for the lameness that is death, decay, and entropy. A fallen state.
Sin can be about the heart again.
Sin can be about the heart again.

as i understand QM waves collapse upon observation. Consciousness is a fundamental part of the basis of the universe; there is no universe when there is no Universal Observer. there is only one consciousness that observes all things, and by Him all things have their being. Satan's not omniscient -- the particle-like aspect of Creation demonstrates, in fact requires ((if you think it through)) that it has an omniscient, omnipotent, and omnipresent Creator. the very existence of creation proves the existence of God, and testifies of His eternal qualities -- just like Romans 1 says, long before anyone on earth understood the science of these things

Does this answer the measurement problem and observer effect?
Is wave collapse something that isn't entangled with God anymore?
Entangled with God because He is infinite and so is superposition.
God still knows of something after it is wave collapsed.
Something can't be entangled with God if it is too large to be entangled with itself or if it is observed/measured/decohered/fallen.
You need God for wave collapse to physical particles. Does that mean creation is still happening?
