Quite a shame Physorg broke the ability to see who rated the comment(s). So many are quick to rate comments based on their personal beliefs and/or tastes instead of facts and rarely offer a valid or intelligent rebuttal.

1) Adam and Eve were representative not just of the human race, but of all intelligent races, or
2) Each race had its own representative, and any race that "passed" its test without sinning would be isolated within a kind of protective bubble from the decay that overtook the rest of the universe as a consequence of humanity's sin. Then in the "end times" when the old, corrupted universe is remade, races which did not sin could move seamlessly from the old universe to the new one. Or,
3) God made more than one universe, and only the races that He knew were going to sin were placed in this universe. . .so they could all deal with the imperfection together.

I am just a leech . . .
I have only spent a second of my life, although, my world is UNAFFECTED . . .
I make the claim, and, it is true .
I am wide awake . . .
You may or may NOT Understand when I am Dead . . .
I went to "God" . . .
I saw Heaven and all the "Lights" . . .
When I am God, it is Rather Simple . . .
Everyone, DIES !
I saw the Sin; Glistening upon the trees . . .
It was most MAGNIFICENT .
Nevertheless,
The "Spiritual War" is indeed intensifying . . .
What can "WE" Say to that of a Sinner ?
I pity the WEAK and SLAY the Strong .
If I were, the master, the master "God" . . .
"WE" Understand . . .
"WE UNDERSTAND" . . . .
;-)
Heh heh heh . . .
I hope "WE" have made Ourselves * CLEAR * . . . .
