Yep, the Earth is sinful. After all, has anyone heard it publicly accept Jesus Christ? Therefore, after the apocalypse, Earth will be going to Hell. Oh shit, too late...
Even according to your doctrine, only autonomous beings can sin. The Earth has no consciousness; ergo, the Earth is not an autonomous being; ergo, the Earth cannot sin. Idiot.
Well, IIRC some sects (Cathares, for example) believed that all matter comes from the devil. Their beliefs got them labeled "heretics" and slaughtered by the church, though.
Does he mean that the Grand Canyon is "decaying" because it is getting deeper? Does that mean that the Himalayas are growing in faith? Did Mount St. Helens have a crisis of doubt in 1980, and that's why it lost its top? How do we determine which geological features are Christians and which are sinful pagans?
I am not sinful, nor do I expect to be significantly decaying until after I die, dental cavities excepted. Too bad about you, though.

Well why not just use the Hovind explanation? He uses a water faucet and a box of sand to "prove" that the grand canyon could have been formed in a day.

<< According to fundie fizzics, the first sin (Adam and Eve eating the apple) actually changed the laws of physics. Before, the universe was perfect as created by god. After, the 2nd law of thermodynamics began to operate, causing stuff to break down. >>

You'd think that if that single piece of fruit were so vital to the continued smooth and nonentropic functioning of the universe, God would have put it in a MUCH safer place -- say, on a different planet altogether! But noooooo, he has to go and put it right where the serpent can casually tempt God's creations to grab a quick bite -- just one more flaw in the claims for "intelligent design."

He may be hinting at the idea that the entirety of the universe fell upon Adam's fall. A part of this belief is that all animals were vegetarians before the fall, and thus had no need to shed blood. That's just my guess as to where he's coming up with this idea, at any rate.
Dude, you were owned. Just admit it and move on. Flailing around and ranting about how planets aren't Christian isn't helping anything.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
