If Jehovah created the world with no disease or sickness, did he create Adam with an immune system just in case, or did he have to recreate Adam with the ability to fight disease after he and Eve sinned?

Joel,
Great question. Cannot think of an answer, serious or funny. I can only think of yet another question.
Why did Jehovah create mankind with the capacity to have fear, when in paradise all fear (of wild animals, evil people, natural disasters) would not be necessary?

Great topic.
Frankly, I think God created everything alright - and evolution was his technique. We evolved an immune system because we needed one, and God had the foresight and the smarts to make DNA in such a way that it responded to that need. Neat trick.
And when we had evolved a long, long way from the single cell that was placed in the warm, shallow seas on this planet; when we had developed a brain capable of supporting a mind that could conceive of a god, that God send a pair of cosmic citizens (from a universe TEEMING with life) here to upstep our evolutionary progress. Somehow that couple screwed up their mission, and the world hasn't been the same since. Religions have taught that the cosmic couple sent here actually was the first couple, and ... well, you know the rest.
Don't think it's possible? Have you ever played that game where twenty people line up and a simple sentence is whispered in the ear of the first person in the line? The sentence is whispered along from person to person. When it reaches the last person, it hardly resembles the original sentence.
Yet we think the real story of how we got here was been handed down throughout millenia, most of which had no written language, with utter accuracy? Boy, are we good at blowing smoke up our own pants.
What do you think?

I think that our immune system was so good that we did not succumb to the diseases that were around. Remember, a lot of the bacteria around us has a purpose, and if we are really healthy we are less likely to suffer from any bad effects. Example: Staph is on our skin all the time ... it is naturally there ... but if our system is weakened, we are likely to get skin infections. Pseudomonasis a naturally occuring bacteria meant to break down organisms, but get it in a wound or in your lungs and you are in deep pooh.
