These were my thoughts precisely. YEC-ers put a lot of emphasis on "the
curse". God, it seems came up with some truly horrible ideas when He put
the curse on the whole of creation. I know one can't question the morality
of God (though Richard Dawkins clearly does in the quote I posted earlier).
However, I kind of find this "retooling" idea particularly hard to stomach.
