When Adam fell, so did the entire creation (see Gen. 3:17,18). All of creation groans in pain (see Rom. 8:20–22). Everywhere we see signs of the curse: persistent weeds in the soil, diseases in the animal and plant kingdoms, earthquakes, floods, tornadoes, and hurricanes, along with human disease, suffering, and death. All of these things confirm the reality of the Genesis Fall, and both redeemed humanity and creation will be restored in the new heavens and new earth.
Jeremiah 7:20 Therefore thus says the Lord God: Behold, My anger and My fury will be poured out on this placeon man and on beast, on the trees of the field and on the fruit of the ground. And it will burn and not be quenched.
