The '''Fall of man''' is the Judeo-Christian theological concept that mankind and the universe existed in a perfect and ideal state prior to a 'fall' triggered by the actions of [[Eve]]. In this state, death and suffering did not exist - Adam and Eve were, for practical purposes, immortal - as were all animals. Predation did not occur - animals that are now carnivorous existed solely on a diet of plants.

The one flaw of this perfect world was [[Satan]], who was able to trick Eve into consuming a fruit she had been forbidden by God from eating. The immediate effect of this was to introduce [[Sin]] into the universe. No longer perfect, but tainted by sin, the perfect universe rapidly decayed with the introduction of death, predation, disease, pain, and all other consequences of sin.

The presence of sin also caused a gradual decline in human lifespans (Accounting for the extremely long lifespans of early biblical figures such as [[Noah]]) and moral turpitude, necessitating the advent of a [[Savior]]. The accumulation of sin-induced [[entropy]] gradually reduced lifespans and morals. Given sufficient time, this accumulation will become so great as to require the reconstruction of the earth, with the second coming of [[Christ]].
