that’s exactly what i was thinking of when i posted this, but then I looked up Ezekiel 18 and change my mind in saying anything.

Hmm, “bitter water” ~ a bad shipment of Evian perhaps?
Let us imagine that when God created Adam that Adam was without flaw, meaning without sin. Now imagine God had intimate contact with Adam frequently. And within that intimate contact was the ability of God to keep his creation, meaning Adam, in pristine condition. Then imagine his creation severed that contact leaving Adam to his own devices. Now fast forward some six thousand years. [Remember this is purely speculative, bordering fantasy.]
With the discovery of DNA and the, genome which we are still in the infancy of, imagine that with every sin a human being commits a minuscule (microscopic, exceedingly small, minute, tiny, teensy weensy, nano sized) portion of his DNA is ever so slightly altered. Much like the hour hand on a clock can not be observed moving, except on a more diminutive level, DNA looses it’s original integrity. And after generations of this DNA being weakened and battered-and all at once with all generations combined to produce a climactic shift in just one micro level coding-a defect is introduced into the code language of a strand of DNA. This process will take hundreds, maybe thousands of years.
Now imagine that you are holding a round glass globe in the palm of your hand. Then imagine that globe gradually got hotter to the point that you either drop it to avoid the searing pain and shattering it in the process, or you dunk it in a cold vat of water to avoid destroying it. (This can be an analogous to the Great Flood in the days of Noah.)
Now imagine God holds our DNA together so not to let it deteriorate in an instant. (Think of a computer programmer scouring through lines and lines of computer code making sure every single digit is in its proper place. If left to it’s own devises the computer program would foul up the whole system.) Now imagine that because of sin [heat] God has no choice but to turn from [drop] guarding our DNA [computer code]. Without Gods diligent attention to his computer codes known as DNA the systems he created would deteriorate in an instant.
Now try and imagine that sin is to God what the heat in the glass globe his to you. The more sin is equivalent to more heat. Eventually reaching a point where God can no longer hold on to his creation [”the glass globe”] any longer. So he has no choice but to let it go to it’s own destructive travails. And voila! DNA no longer holds it’s original integrity and is allowed to metamorph into something other than it’s pristine condition. This brings about genetic defects that was not in Gods original plans.
Obviously I have no scientific evidence of this being the case. But I enjoy deducting the human condition back to it’s original intent with some imaginary flare. Does this make any sense?
