  In his Book "Peril in Paradise", Dr. Mark Whorton, (who holds a PhD in aerospace engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology), puts forward some very convincing arguments for "Old-Earth", as he compares the "Perfect PARDISE Paradigm" to the " Perfect PURPOSE Paradigm" proposed by creationists. He shows how entropy, death, pain and suffering already existed before the "fall".

  A good read for JWs that shows this mortal decaying earth, may NOT be their "eternal" home.

  Can be read in the Amazon Cloud reader.

  But there is a flaw.

  The absolute irrefutable fact is that there was no perfection, no Adam and Eve and no fall.

  Humans evolved from non-human ancestors over millions of years.

  Any theology that conflicts with this reality needs to be rejected as fantasy.

  @Cofty ****** The absolute irrefutable fact is that there was no perfection ****

  thanks for the reply, I hope all is well :)

  I believe that's the argument he is making in the Perfect "PURPOSE" model of creation and NOT the perfect "PARADISE" model of perfection, because it's not perfect.
