JWS describe unrepentant sin's effect on a perfect body to that of pouring sand into a flawless machine.
I can't give you a simple "yes" or "no"OK. A simple 'Yes', 'No', or 'I don't know', with or without qualification, would be reasonable answers, and the question itself could be rejected. But this...
If you're referring to the human body, it certainly isn't perfect (for any reasonable defnition of 'perfect'), and clearly never has been - it's flawed, from subcellular level to gross anatomy - as you'd expect from a body that evolved by being 'just good enough'....The body was initially made perfect.

You live in the fantasy-world of materialism, Frumious, blinded by secular fundamentalism, notably here, as expressed in scientism. There is no arguing with it, since it is fundamentally irrational. The scientific evidence, never mind the immemorial anecdotal evidence, for the supernatural is endless, has growin remorselessly for approximately 90 years - your 'scientific' worldview being at least 90 years out of date. The absolute speed of light photons 'a priori' indicates non-locality (origin outside of space-time), but it has been proven multiple times and in multiple ways concerning particles at the microscopic level - which is just what Christians would expect of the boundary between creation and the Creator - the laws of physics become exceeding quaint. Read and inwardly digest this article from the Scientific American :

Sounds more like religion.
Please provide 'scientific' evidence of the supernatural.
Nope, I'm simply expressing an informed opinion. You're welcome to argue the point.Rubbish. Your 'argument' is explicitly based on the bizarre notion that you alone are the arbiter of what reflects reason, here, and what does not.
Yes; I could see that it could be argued that a body 'just good enough' to survive and reproduce could be said to be a perfect balance of economy of adaptation and efficiency. Nevertheless, there are many features that could be improved on without compromising that balance, so it seems to me that it is short of perfection in those respects. You're welcome to argue the point.'(for any reasonable definiition of "perfect")' ??????!!!!!!
Been there, read that. Are you suggesting that quantum mechanics, the most precise and well-tested model of nature we've ever had, is supernatural?...

So Frumious. If you could have...how would you have done betterIf you're referring to the human body, it certainly isn't perfect (for any reasonable defnition of 'perfect'), and clearly never has been - it's flawed, from subcellular level to gross anatomy - as you'd expect from a body that evolved by being 'just good enough'.

If evolution wasn't a restriction, and we want to retain the overall morphology, we could rework the eye so the blood vessels and nerve fibres run under the photosensitive cells and the blind spot is eliminated, and the photoreceptors could face the direction of incoming light (octopus & squid evolved a camera-type eye independently, and got it 'right').So Frumious. If you could have...how would you have done better
The image on the Shroud is not only a photographic negative - what forger would have thought of something so zany - especially before photography had been invented ? - but the image has now been found to be 3-dimensional, a unique image, the only such image in the world. The context will explain it.
You don't even know what it means, but you know better, eh?The above article shows that the brain is not sufficient for human consciousness, the mind, or life. Evolutionary psychology says that the mind and everything that you are is based on adaptive mechanisms which arose in our "Pleistocene past" and you are nothing more than a cognitive neural program (whatever that means).
