Two additional confounding factors make it harder to detect:
Effects of Satan's fall could be present much earlier in time. Does
science have anything untainted for comparison?
Are effects of Adam and Eve's fall necessarily chronologically afterwards?
Certainly it takes a lot of work to avoid reaching the conclusion that
we're fallen, and studies of human behavior or psychology will detect
these, but without the Bible we won't understand it.
