I don't expect that in heaven there are lots of accidents, like falling off
cliffs, meteors hitting heaven, tornados, hurricanes, floods, heavenquakes,
crocodiles or lions tigers and bears eating people etc. Exactly what kind
of eternity are you expecting?

Maybe this is true, but that is an assumption because the Bible really
doesn't tell us how long the first couple lasted in the sinless case. And
as Kevin pointed out, bacteria could over run the world in a couple of days
if they didn't die. And, surely in the few hours prior to the fall, a cow
or gazelle chomped on a piece of grass that also held an aphid or an ant.
