I remember a pastor once asked this, as he taught the book of Genesis, I thought he had asked to draw our attention closer to the truth, but I realized he was merely confused himself, presuming that this is one of those "unsolvable" question. This same pastor had wondered if human spirits are actually physically measurable.
As troubled as this pastor's own faith may be, we must not lose sight of our focus on our Lord.
It is by the will of God, that we are commanded to obey Him, so that we know, He is our God, He is our Creator, His will is absolute and perfect, and that we must seek after Him. If Jesus had come immediately when Adam and Eve sinned, then I need not say more...for anyone asking this kind of question is really spoiled probably since childhood and in serious need of lessons in life.
