The universe was perfectly ordered and neat. Then Adam ate a fruit and planets started to collide, chunks of ice and rock started hurtling through space and smashing into planets, dust rings formed around saturn, black holes started sucking up planets.....
All that from 1 bite of fruit, right?

No they were doing that before he ate the fruit.

No, the only thing the bible says is that there was no sin. Adam and Eve were not subject to death. Can't say what was going on in the Galaxy. The only way everything could be in a physical state of perfection would be to freeze everything to 0 Kelvin. Not much fun there.
Black holes, colliding stars, comets, all of their purpose. We're only begining to scratch the surface of what all they do.
Perfect order would mean everything is working the way it should. I think the universe is working the way it should, the only thing that is not working the way it should are people.

I think you are taking the story way too literally. It's supposed to be a metaphor.
In Hinduism for example, they have all sorts of gods that represent different archetypes present within the human Psyche. Are we supposed to believe in beings with blue skin and extra arms?... You can if you want to, but I think you're missing a deeper meaning by focusing on these stories in a literal sense.
What does the fruit represent to you? The serpent? The temptation? The "fall"?

I don't know about that. When they say things were in order, they meant there was no sin or unhappiness on the earth. Adam's deed mostly only affects us, his descendants. What happens in the rest of the universe is a different matter.

The story of human origins in Genesis is a *myth.* Not in the pejorative sense. Things can be true without being factual. Genesis is not a cosmological theory. It's a statement about the existential situation of human beings. You don't read "Moby Dick" and start taking the author to task because he "made up" Captain Ahab and because there really was no "white whale."

I've never heard that one before. It certainly is not the teaching of my Church. Do you have a source?

there's no way to possibly know any of what you asked. Who ever suggested any of these things? I don't know why it even matters except to give you a witty question to ask.
