Why Adam was created perfect while all of us are created imperfect (according to Christianity)?
I think sin is a result of imperfection NOT vise versa.
Think of my question before pressing the answer bottom.

Aye
I think Adam sinned because he is a creation not a creator.
Only the creator can be perfect and without any faults.
And God knew exactly that Adam would have went against His teachings one way or another. It was a matter of time.

By using lies and trickery, Satan the Devil caused Adam and Eve to disobey God. (Genesis 2:17; 3:6) As a result, they eventually died, as God had said they would if they disobeyed. (Genesis 3:17-19) Since Adam became imperfect when he sinned, all his offspring inherited sin from him. (Romans 5:12) The situation might be illustrated with a pan used for baking bread. If the pan has a dent in it, what happens to each loaf of bread made in the pan? Each loaf has a dent, or an imperfection, in it. Similarly, each human has inherited a “dent” of imperfection from Adam. That is why all humans grow old and die.—Romans 3:23.

Adam was a perfect being originally. Adam's sin in the garden passed down physical and spiritual death to all of his descendants. Nowadays nobody is born pefect (except Jesus).I believe sin did change his genetic structure because humanities lifespan was severally shortened after the fall.

Adam was different to the rest of us in two main way`s,first He had the higher gift of integrity which means that he was not subject to his passions ans had complete control over his faculties,this is why the sin of Adam could not have been a sexual one as people tend to suggest.
Secondly he was without sin which gave him an innocence that we cannot experience,due to these gifts Adam was the complete human being.
After the fall Adam lost these higher gifts and was pretty much as we are now,I don`t think that there was any physical change in his appearance.

When Adam sinned against God in the garden he lost the ability to have a body that woud not deteriorate, so I guess he had to suffer changes.
Sin was not and inborn imperfection and it didn't start with man it started in heaven with Satan and those angels that followed him. He was tossed from heaven and ended up here.
God made Satan perfect. He allowed Satan to make his own choices. He has done the same for man. When we choose to go against God we make the imperfect choice. The same was true for Satan.
Yes I agree that sin was and is the result of inperfection. Through sin we blighted God's perfect design for us.

Didn't change genetic structure. The imperfection of sin was not instigated by the Creator. Had Eve not been duped by Satan, then I guess things would be different. I also think Perfect is a subjective term.

Imperfect people in an imperfect world is the result of messed up genes. There was only one perfect man and they crucified Him! There is a saying " Suffer little children to come unto me "

even as they fell from grace, sin entered the international and the universe. each little thing replaced. Adam and Eve walked with God. God won't be able to tolerate sin in his presence. hence, a suitable international created for suitable human beings became a fallen international for those of Adam. even as taking the nature of God into consideration, the change interior the international sounds like it may have befell obviously... yet nonetheless, if God created the universe, to regulate something can be a lot less complicated than blinking...

Many would like to believe our sin is the result of some gene that transferred from Adam to us. That would make it easy for scientists to remove that gene and then we would all be free of sin. But the truth is that it is man's inclination to sin because of our free will. We all want to be like God.
