Creation Corruption (Sin Affects Earth)

The verse states that "the creature was made subject to vanity," which could refer to a state of futility or impermanence rather than a direct corruption caused by human sin. The phrase "by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope" suggests a divine purpose behind this subjection, not necessarily a consequence of human action.
