Notice my posts were in 3rd person. I do not identify these beliefs as mine. I merely answered the question as to why some get so exercised over evolution. They believe it negates Christ's redemptive death.
In that belief system, prior to the fall, there was no death at all from anything. Viruses and bacteria would have been happy little symbiots, not lethal organisms.
Sin broke something and allowed death to enter perfect creation. From the moment of original sin, creation started to age and malfunction and death began to occurr.

I gotta say this: although I am a professing Christian now, I didn't buy "evolution" long before I became one. The problem was that I just didn't like something so significant being crammed down my throat with no evidence, and yet with such finality and conviction.
It is probably that personality trait that has also made me a conservative from the cradle. I don't like being told what to believe without evidence.
