No. Blessed does not mean greater in stature. It means happy. That's it. As I stated in a previous post the same greek word translated blessed is translated happy (KJV) in James 5:11. It can also mean approved, well thought of, etc. Never exalted or great. To claim that blessed means to be in a greater station is a corruption of the Greek text.
Eve was created without sin. Do you doubt that?
Nope.
Wouldn't being created without sin be a greater thing than being created with the stain of sin? (Original sin, we speak of here.)
Nope. Mary herself acknowledged her own sin, so that don't fly. Luke 1:48a "For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden...(KJV)" "...humble state...."(NASV; NIV; ESV); "....LOWLY state..."(NKJV) As I stated in a previous post the Greek word here for low, lowly or humble means to affirm one's sinful condition or guilt before God.
...unless Mary was also preserved from Original Sin.
If that were true Mary is a liar since she admitted her sin (see above Luke 1:48). Whoops, and if she's a liar then there's your sin and around and around we go........
What Roman Catholicism has done is create a different Mary from Scripture. They've created a sinless version which is blasphemy and contradicts Romans 3:23, "For ALL have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." All means ALL. And this includes Mary unless God is now a liar also. But hey, thanks for proving that goddess worship is in fact what the RC has done by making Mary sinless and equal to Christ.
Nope.

Nope? You would rather be created with sin than without?
I can't argue with that, that's just insanity.

That's fine and dandy, but we're talking about Eve, not Mary. Eve was created without original sin. But since you don't think that's better than being created with Original Sin, I can only assume you either have no idea what Original Sin is, or are insane and desire the dark things.
Your logical leaps with Luke 1:48 (being lower than God doesn't mean one is sinful) can wait for another day till you sort out whether sin is beteer than no sin.
