The guilt of Adam being applied to all humanity is the basis by which God can apply the righteousness of Christ towards those who haven't earned it, themselves. It's the entire point of the Gospel.

awesome point! yes, God has a plan for creation. and no, there isn't a "better world" for us. people are always complaining "why couldn't God have eliminated suffering" or whatever. those people just haven't studied/contemplated this level of theological subtlety - that God has a providential plan and that this world could not have a better balance, certeris parabis. i usually don't get an answer to the question of how someone can authoritatively prove that their version would actually work irl. it's always a case of smuggled in authority
