I think this view, that creation is "broken" as a result of the Fall, is often due to an erroneous interpretation of Romans 8:19-22
A broken creation can be traced back thru Judaism to Zoroastrianism.
Judaism:
"Adam's sin returned the universe, which had almost been amended, to its former broken state." Gershom Scholem, The Messianic Idea in Judaism, p.46
And of the Parsees(modern Zorostrians) Adolphe Franck writes:
"...The Prince of Darkness, Samael, losing half his name, will become an angel of light at the end of time, and together with all who were cursed, return to divine grace." p. 217 The Kabbalah, Adolphe Franck
