That's right, I would merely have had a different body.

Is that someone from the Sami people who has decided to become a Viking ?

Where does the Bible say that?

Also Adam and Eve in the garden would not have been affected by tiredness or lust, two things that would have altered their sex life and probably the children they had.

Also Cain and his wife are sent away so where there would have been cousins marrying this doesn't happen and so again changed the gene mix.

And we have the whole world except Noah and family wiped out again removing 99% of the then gene pool.

Then there was Babel which seperated gene pools.

Then take into account the known and unknown bastards in our ancestory (i.e. people who should have never existed - even Jesus had one of those) and children from marriages after invalid divorces, and populations that exist only because people moved and met as a result of wars etc. there's no way we would have ended up with the population we have today if there was no sin.

If Adam and Eve were still alive (and here) then they would still be having kids (thousands by now) and so adding those initial genes back into the gene pool again making it different from what it is now.

And we wouldn't have gene mutations that cause sickness and sterility and lots of other things, again changing the gene pool.

Different gene pool, different people, no you and me.

"Thanks Adam"

Galatians 2:20 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

²⁰ I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.

What's that got to do with the sentence "God is the one who gives souls."
