I mean, here's my primary problem with the whole Creation thing. Why in the HELL would God in Her infinite wisdom create things like ticks and viruses? What purpose could they possibly serve in paradise?
That very well could be. Maybe if Adam and Eve didn't rebel, evolution wouldn't even be an issue. Considering that God made Adam in the image of himself, this leads me to believe that Adam was created perfect but imperfection fell upon him when he disobeyed God's word and therefore needed evolution to correct any imperfections in humanity. The same reasoning could also apply to your ticks and viruses in the sense that without the perfect man, there lies an imperfect world.
