The opposite is true. Can't really argue the fact that people live longer healthier lives as a result of genetic research.

(Jun 28 06, 10:03)Who in the world would argue with that? Indeed it does. We have been harnessing technology to push back against the effects of sin, since sin's inception. How does this demonstrate that our condition is improving? It doesn't. The death rate is 1 for 1... we're all going to make it.

genetic reseach just helps us realize the effects of sin more clearly and produce technology to make us suffer less while we are here.

I'm talking about life expectancy steadily increasing over the last 200 years in developed countries. I don't see an ancient curses holding that back. So is this "sin" genetic? or is it external, like diseases and bacteria? Also, there's no gscientific support that the human genome is eternal in any repspect, and that something is undermining it's "eternal nature".

janne, God would know your intentions and wouldn't even let you into heaven, thereby preventing you from meeting and kicking adam+eve.

If Satan likes evil, wouldn't he just make the evil people of the world his apprentices and therefore they wouldn't be treated horribly?

...or maybe he just enjoys kicking ass more...

very interesting, mimio!
very good to know that humans keep evolving, even by cultural changes..

Mimio:
The National Geographic article demonstrates Micro-Evolution. Adaptation within the human genome. Nobody argues with this. Not even YEC's.
What's your point?

My point is that breeding habits influence the human genome predominately, not an invisible curse trying to punish or decay it.

(Jun 28 06, 10:28)As i said, technology helps us push back against the deliterious effects of sin. But it doesn't alleviate our condition altogether. We will always experience suffering and decay. Are you implying that technology will make us immortal and alleviate suffering?
Who said that the human genome is eternal in any repspect? I believe that the only thing about us that is eternal is our spiritual nature.

Variation within the human genome as the result of environment pressures, breeding within the species, etc... is of no relevance to the discussion of sin and it's effects. Regardless of variation, things still suffer and die and do bad things to others.

Sorry discipler, but you've implied more than once that sin is hereditary. If it is, then it's obviously undectable since the human genome is obviously adapting in a beneficial way and not deteriorating like you're suggesting.
As far as people living forever through science I think it's entirely within reason.
