Death and decay was always here from the very beginning. The death you speak of was a symbolic death as the story clearly shows they did not die when they ate the fruit. But it was in fact many years later that their bodies actually died.
II Peter 3:8
But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
That's because it wasn't our day that YHVH was talking about, it was his. If you look back, no human made it past a day and there is a reason for that. Methuselah made it to 969, the Biblical record of the closest to that time.
Because we cannot fathom or have a clear understanding of his power we can only imagine how he made things happen. God created all the biological being on this planet and and all the sciences that comes with those beings including evolution. It is within his power to have biological sex with a virgin female and impregnate that female and leave her a virgin in the morning. It is because we can not grasp the extent of that power that we get lost and become creative. That in my opinion is how some have come to believe in the Trinity. Their faith is not strong enough to accept the true and awesome power of a single God in all his glory.
Well sure, it's possible. However, a virgin birth only means one thing. This sort of thing is descended from the fertility cult nonsense.Regarding your earlier posts, when you see a son, you don't look at him and say: "well now I've seen his dad."John 14:9
Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Show us the Father?
You don't say that about two distinct beings, particularly when given one is a father and one is a son. Clearly, this is reference to the Godhead.
