I in no way claim to be a biblical scholar, the very name should send chills down ones spine. But after over two decades of bible study, I have had to come to some immutable conclusions.

One, we are not living in the same world that Adam and Eve lived in, nor is our climate the same. It is made very clear in Genesis that there had never been rain on the face of the earth, that the earth was watered by a mist rising from the ground. St. Peter said, "For this they are willingly ignorant, the world that was then, being overflowed with water perished, the world we live in now is reserved for fire and the judgment of the ungodly men".

There was a war in heaven and a third of the angels went with Satan, when Adam and Eve fell from grace it was an event that effected the entire fabric of the universe. When Genesis six speaks of the sons of God marrying women that was Satan's attempt to destroy and contaminate the blood line that Christ would come through.

I can only imagine how insane the general public, who had never seen rain, must have thought Noah was for building a huge boat on dry land. Evidently Noah and his families bloodline was one of the few left uncontaminated.

There is a passage that says all of creation groans together awaiting the sons of God. During the tribulation the earth will reel on it's axis like a drunkard, the stars will appear to fall, and the heat conditions are so bad on earth to the point that the sun, which becomes super heated, is only seen through some type of pollution or cloud cover for a third of the day, and the moon doesn't give her light at all. Which begs the question of what the speed of the earth's rotation will be at the time.

God is still in control, still creating those that will be with Him eternally, still using good and evil to work His will. Adam lost his dominion over the earth to Satan, and Satan will have his day. Once when Daniel was praying for an answer he had to wait three weeks, eating only bread and water.

When the Angel of the Lord came with the answer, he said to Daniel that the moment Daniel had prayed God had sent him with the answer, but the demon prince of Persia and Greece had captured him and it took Michael the Arch Angel to free him to continue to Daniel with the answer to his prayer.

Given that, and Peter's trip to the third level of Heaven, a scientist would say we are talking here of multiple dimensions and realities. The very Temple that was destroyed in Jerusalem was a replica of the one in Heaven.

At the end of things we are told that God reconciles all to Himself again, in laymans terms, joins dimensions together and He will reside in Jerusalem, or rather the Holy City will hover over Jerusalem. Therefore it would matter little if the sun burned out, or if the earth took a trip through other universes because God will be our light.

So in conclusion I would say that we are merely one form of reality in a sea of realities that will eventually merge into perfection.

Indeed, MissAmericanPie! The creature Man seems to figure very high in God's plans for the world, as well as in the "beyond" of this world. If I might put the matter that way.

Our Redeemer is our only hope for "fixing what was broke" in the Fall.

Thank you so much for writing!
