If the evils of this world are the result of the Original Sin, does that mean that before the Fall the world was perfect?

If so, what made Eden a "paradise" in comparison?

    Yes the world was perfect because sin had not yet entered the world and The Lord God would come and walk with man in the garden . Because sin entered the world The Righteousness of God no longer surrounds the Earth and our world has been contaminated by the actions and influence of satan. Gods Presence made the world a perfect paradise .Only perfection and Righteousness can exist in the Presence of God . Everything must be holy and pure and without sin to exist in The presence of The Lord.

    There are two ways to look at this by the word "fall" being there is two falls, the fall of the angels and the fall of man.

    In a young universe and earth belief it was the fall of man which plunged the universe and world into chaos because of the result of the effects of sin. Which not only effected man but nature itself. This means plants, animals, and man would die because of the original sin of man. I would have to disagree with this because obviously sin existed before the advent of man otherwise why would God have to test man?

    In a old universe and earth belief it was the fall of the angels which plunged the universe and world into chaos because of the result of the effects of sin. Remember Satan fell upon the earth. Again this would effect the fallen angels, man, and nature. This would mean plants, animals, and man would die because of the original sin of the fallen angels. This also relates to what Jesus said about Satan since the beginning he was a murderer (John 8:44).

    The "original sin" means the "first sin".

    Now as taught in Christianity Satan and the fallen angels and the unrighteous man are all going to be cast into Hell. By removing the sinners is also removing sin and with it the effects of sin. So the universe and earth of the righteous man, the angels, and Jesus Himself will be as it was before the fall an undying universe and world.

    The story of Adam and Eve is fiction. Don't do any research in fiction. Original sin, whatever that may mean, does not exist.

    There was no original sin. The world is as god wills it to be. If it were perfect, we would not be able to learn the lessons we have to master while we are here.

    there really are no evils in the world, people are just soft from living more comfortable then the rest of the species on this planet and therefore created ideas like good and evil cause they have the luxury of intelligence, and too much free time.

    There was no belief in evil, therefore, there was o fear. All animals were vegetarians.
