My question for you both is why is the question important? There needs to be a stronger definition of the term “perfect” as well as honest exposition of the personal biases behind the question. What is a perfect human or what would have been a perfect human from God’s perspective? What would have been a perfect human according to your biases, dartuser? Or yours “Pilgrim”?
Search for the answers to those questions and you’ll know why God uses the term “good”* and not the term “perfect”*...(at least as has been translated from the Hebrew texts)*.

Not really an answer, but what did Adam ‘fall’ from? If there were no standard above what he had then the term is rather meaningless. In my mind I see ‘perfection’ and ‘innocence’ as pretty much the same thing.

At any rate, my point from the beginning of this thread was that everyone born into this world after that ‘fall’ are of the image and likeness of sinful man.

Jesus, being born ‘of the seed of woman’ is not tainted by the curse and sinless.
