Did Adam and Eve drop stinky loads of number 2 in the garden of Eden?

Even though it's a silly question, I'm actually honestly curious. Before Adam and Eve sinned, did they eliminate bodily waste, either liquid or solid? Did their waste have a foul smell as it does today?

If they didn't eliminate solid waste, then maybe they didn't even have anuses! Maybe they only got those after they sinned?

Or, maybe they did eliminate, but it was not yucky in anyway, smell or appearance or anything?

I mean, they were perfect and sinless at that time, so life must have been missing many of the little flaws that our lives have today.

    More like a SICK question. I could care less if the defecated or not. I think the story of Adam and Eve was more of a parable and the main point was they had a good thing and blew it so they were punished. Bodily functions aside.

    I have wondered that myself. I know that a certain Saint was said to have a vision of the garden of Eden and according to her the fruit fell off of the ttrees but instead of rotting or decaying they become like incense on the ground. There was said to be no death or decay there. I don't know how true it is, but I think this could apply to number 2.

    This subject is indeed addressed in the 'Wisdom of God' of Lk11:49. Adam and Eve were to keep aside 'that which was being kept'. They removed it from the garden when they were tossed. 7 years worth, now thats a big pile of sh*t! No, but the story is true!

    Here it is:

    And he tilled (the garden), and was naked and knew it not, and was not ashamed, and he protected the garden from the birds and beasts and cattle, and gathered its fruit, and eat, and put aside the residue for himself and for his wife [and put aside that which was being kept].

    note: the 'for' should read 'of' -

    Ha! Hear me out. If they even existed at all, they were human. So, what do humans do? #1 and #2!

    Basically, they had no waste. That's the beauty of it: in the process of food digestion everything was used up by their bodies. Perfect world also meant perfect digestion - no waste, no bad smells.

    'stinky loads' act as fertilizer for the soil. Nothing is wasted.

    They did. However, the smell of feces and urine was not subjectively interpreted as "smelly" until after the fortunate fall.
