Therefore, Eden was an incredible menagerie of species, because without evolution it must all be subtractive from there.

I believe the evidence dictates that genetic mutations and changes are evidence of degradation, not complication.

The Bible calls that degradation the curse/waxing old, modern science calls the curse the 2nd Law of thermodynamics.

Don't even start the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics crap with me. I'm a mechanical engineer who has made a lifelong study of what the 2nd law says, and does not say, and there isn't one lickspittle worth of truth in the idea that the 2nd law precludes evolution. Indeed, it encourages local evolution!. While the universe may as a whole be dying entropically, local systems are free to do as they please only limited by energy sources and sinks.
