So, let me ask others this question: Are we wrong to assign the corruption of earthly phenomena (destructive floods, earth quakes, etc.) to the result of Adam's fall?

Maybe the garden of Eden wasn't such a utopia after all?

That's a great question. Many believe that death first resulted after the fall; and that includes death of any kind. They claim the earth cannot have been more than a few years old at the time of the fall or animals would certainly have died. Also, carnivores didn't eat animal flesh, they ate plants until the fall...They even have to go so far as to postulate that the 2nd law of thermodynamics didn't apply pre-fall because a universe with entropy couldn't have been God's perfect creation...they say the laws of physics actually were changed as a result of the fall.
