Or maybe any number of other 'maybe's. We could have competition to see
who could come up with the best Just So Story. I've got a really good one.

Adam was made perfect but he disobeyed God, and God in justifiable wrath
cursed him. Having endued him with physical perfection and placed him in a
perfect universe all matched his moral perfection, God now ensured that
this now morally imperfect being should endure physical imperfections which
would remind him of what he had become. And the amazing thing is that God
wanted the human race to have these reminders as part of a huge plan aimed
at his ultimate goal the restoration of the race to its intended
perfection.

Far fetched I know, and impossible because we all know that saltations
don't happen, but wouldn't it be great if were it true!
