Obviously bacteria are needed to accelerate, augment, & finalize the decomposition process... if we did not have immune systems, our bodies would be unable to fend of a rotting living-death should it become infected with microorganisms.

That is one part the other is healing/repair.

You remember being a kid and getting banged up whilst playing around, right? Well, your body needs to be able to fix those incidental ‘injuries’... or even just the normal wear-and-tear of living, for example the break-down/build-up cycle of working-out for building muscle.

Like I said, simple.

God forknew the fall of man.

It has dawned on me that nothing has ever dawned on God.

How does symbiotic bacteria fit into this myth?

I’m sorry that your faith is so weak that it’s threatened by a “theory”, Mr. One-Note-Johnny.

Your gut is full of harmful bacteria. So is your mouth. But it’s supposed to be there. It’s part of normal digestion. Without an immune system, how would your body control this bacteria?

Thanks for the daily laugh, GGG!
So the fall was only a few weeks after creation? God needs to work on quality control...

This is a question that cries out “Ignore me!”.
