Through the fall, sin entered. God knew man kind would fall, causing Him to send His only Begotten Son to be a sacrifice for sin.

Without Sin, would the world have remained pristine and perfect?

Does Sin cause natural catastrophes?

Did Christ's sacrifice eliminate natural catastrophes?

If not: WHY not?

Regards,

No, because man is still sinning. In case you didn’t notice. The phrase “natural disasters” was made up by man, to boot.

What manner of man is this? He commands even the wind and waves, and they obey him.

Problem is, we simply don’t know all the ways in which nature and the supernatural’s relation with one another were modified by the fall.

(”What if you fell off a cliff? Would you just hit the ground and nothing would happen?” ...we don’t know, maybe before the Fall He’d have sent an angel to keep you from tripping in the first place.)

Assuming “everything else remains the same” after sin is natural to think, but there is no specific evidence for it.

What kind of qualities, does evidence need, to be considered extraordinary ?
