Why was Adam so healthy in regards to cancer?

Question

Did cancer exist, if not how did cancer arise, if through sin, does sin have magical sway over our genetics, if so did it affect Adam or his children.

If cancer did exist does it not count as "suffering".

This is a riddle I could never possibly understand; but try and help me out.

Answer 1

Cancer has always been around

Answer 2

Cancer most likely has always existed in one form or another. It would explain why it's such a problem these days; it was repeatedly passed down through the gene pool from ancient to modern society.

Answer 3

He didn't smoke, dip, chew or swallow his saliva...that's why he didn't get cancer

Answer 4

you can't use current cultural mentality and applied it to Adam's time.

for instance, we have cigarettes now...smoke a ton a day and you'll increase your cancer chances, whether you're christian, muslim, atheist, republican, whatever

Answer 5

Human genealogy grows weaker by generations and the passing of millennia. Mans resilience to disease, stress and life in general is woefully low. He has become a physically weak, high maintenance monster, requiring mass consumption for minimal output, tiresome exertion to retain his physique at optimum or at least form.

He suffers many ailments and diseases, newer ailments arising from curable old diseases. A lack of emotional will power, mental disciple and a slavish lifestyle has weakened genetics.

Natural intuitive aptitude is replaced with intensive indoctrination of data and knowledge, casting him into greater confusion, with little or no pastoral guidance or spiritual paths to augment that aspect of his self.

Environmental pollution may be partly responsible although all the above factors have greater influence in the degeneration of man. Attack on religion by atheists and evolutionary conceptualism unable to follow simple pastoral guidelines is another step towards gratuitous neanderthalism.

Answer 6

Uh, because it's a story, and because people didn't know about cancer back when it was written.

Answer 7

Cancer arose due to man polluting the environment.

Answer 8

he was never exposed to UV rays, he had perfect genetics, he didnt eat at mcdonalds, he had a proper diet, the list can go on and on

Answer 9

No junk food, no contaminants in the atmosphere, no cigarettes.  You figure it out!

Answer 10

There are cultures in the world today that have an almost zero cancer rate. At the risk of sounding like I agree with science on all subjects, many scientist believe it is because those cultures do no eat processed foods. Bottom line of the hypothesis being that what we eat causes most of the health problems we have.

Answer 11

In the beginning God made man perfect . After sinning, the world was cursed with sin . So every generation since fell a little short of that perfectness genes included. In Leviticus 18:6 God stopped inter family marriages .That is why there is sickness , diseases, death .
