| IMPOSSIBLE! So, let me get this - they would be unfallen super humans living in a cursed universe. Natural evil would surround them by no fault of their own. They would just have to deal with it. Sounds like some bad theology right there.
If there is . . . they certainly are not human (i.e. rational beings)!
| Here's a thing to chew on: is the entire universe really cursed? Or just the portion of it that pertains to our condition? The Bible speaks in universal terms, but in places it is clear that the "universe" in view is our world only.
| Would the original readers/hearers of the Scriptures have assumed that theirs was the only inhabited world in the universe? Probably.
