This earth only exists as Gods best way to create the next world in heaven. Suffering here on earth is good for us in the overall eternal view.

Disease, death and decay are all the result of the sin committed by God's creation.

No - they are the true essence of Nature and its creations. God doesnt exist. Nature is not cruel or evil - just indifferent. Why would God design a wasp that stings catepillars with eggs of its young just so that the young could eat the living flesh of the catepillar? Is that all loving? Is that compassionate? No - its evolution - completely indifferent to how cruel it really seems... Just like a Tasmainian Devil who gives birth to 6-8 live young, but has only 4 nipples - so it EATS the young that dont make it into her pouch. Yeah - God would design an animal that EATS its young...

Disease, decay, and death are all part of our human experience. God is everything and everything is God (but it's not "his" - because God is not a man - It's a Power) - so yes - those things are God. And it's our job to see that they serve a purpose and are here for a reason. That's where faith comes into play.
Sin is part of yor human experience if you choose to look at things that way. I think SIN is an acronym for Self Inflicted Nonsense.

I don't know if you ever read the Bible or not, but in the first book of the Bible Genesis (chapter 3) there is a story about how man came about. The first (which they represented the human race) two people that were created were Adam and then Eve, who was form from Adam himself. During this time on the earth what God created was perfect until Adam and Eve who had free- will to do good or bad, decided to sin against God. Adam and Eve were placed in a garden which became their dwelling place. In this garden there were many trees and plants. God specifically told Adam & Eve that they can eat from any tree in the garden except from the tree of knowledge and evil. Adam and Eve being tempted by the serpent (devil), decided to take and eat from the tree. In other words, they disobeyed God. So God decided to curse the earth, not only the earth but man. Our bodies who were once created to live eternaly were now subject to disease and death. Iam not saying that God brings disease upon anyone, Iam just saying because there disobedience physical death and all kinds of diseases came about, beacuse we were cursed. Did you ever thought about why women go through so much pain during child bearing?(Genesis chapter 3 verse 15), it's because God curse the women. Not because He is a bad God, but because Adam/Eve decided to disobey God and did what they thought it was right in their own eyes. The curse God put upon man was not God's purpose for our lives, a loving God would'nt want to see us suffer in some disease. He wouln't want us to sin against Him and die physicaly, but because the lack of disiobedience in Adam and Eve our punishment was for our physical bodies to be prone to death. The Bible says in the New Testament in the book of Roman chapter 5 verse 12 "Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man (Adam), and death through sin, and in this way death came to all men, because all sinned". Sin, disease, decay and death came about because of Adam& Eve's (human race) lack of disobedience to God. I hope I answer your question.

NO. They are the result of Adam and Eve disobeying God. When they yielded to the Devil, Sin began. Their was no disease, decay, or death until they sinned.
