The Original Sin of Adam brought a curse on the universe.
Prior to the curse Adam tended the garden, after sin enter the universe, Adam was forced to work, sweat and till the ground.
Genetics degrade, but were perfect in their original design. The waxing old like a garment was not part of God's creation.
This idea is completely and clearly laid out throughout scripture.

But why did it degrade in such a way that these "errors" in the genome exhibit a tree-like structure?

Genetics degrade, but were perfect in their original design. That is an interpretation, and one I believe is in error. First of all, on logical grounds, because perfection, by definition, does not degrade. Second, on observational grounds, selection and wastage remove non-viable copies, just as the CRC check and redundency removes errors from computer data transfers. Thus, even imperfection can maintain itself without degradation. You are assertion that God is a less capable engineer than humans.

The Original Sin of Adam brought a curse on the universe. The bumper sticker I referred to really exists; it is really used by parents of handicapped children; and it is really addressed to your assertion that birth defects are the result of original sin.
