Creation & EvolutionForum for the discussion of this important topic. This forum is open to non-believers. There is a Christians-only forum in the Christians-only section too.
Yes, we do appear to be getting somewhere. So you are saying that God himself is controlling how the Sin nature is passed on genetically, and restricting it to the father's "house"? That He prevents the Sin nature of the mother from being present in the DNA houses of the ovum?
That, I must admit, would at least make some sense in a "God can do anything" sort of way.
But it also raises the question of why the heck bring DNA into it.

DNA is only the carrier --- it houses the Sin Nature until it gets to its destination.
Ah, OK. I just don't get why the omnipotent God needs a carrier at all.
I have the wrong mindset, I know.

Well how else will he make sure every one has a sin nature unless he personally passes the sin nature on to each one of us.

Wait a minute... Was Adam created without DNA and recieved it as some sort of punishment after eating the fruit, or was his DNA contaminated with sin-DNA after The Munching? Also, why wasn't Eve's DNA contaminated?
As Mark said, and I agree, sin is spiritual --- so is the Sin Nature.
So when the father gives the DNA house to either his son or his daughter, the Sin Nature exits that house and becomes part of the flesh.
Then, when the daughter marries and has children of her own, the Sin Nature of her children will be transmitted to them via their father's house.
Her houses won't have the Sin Nature residing in any of them --- his will.
Problem.
Your "houses" (representing DNA) are just Atoms, chemical, are you saying Sin hides in the chemical arrangement, but it's not the chemical arrangement isself ?
