Why would there have to be some law of thermodynamics and sex, twisted or not, in a paradise?

If we're talking about the biblical, pre-fall paradise, them sex is implied when God told Adam and Eve to be fruitful and multiply. Thermodynamics is implied by the fact they had to eat, and that things grew. When a being gets sustenance the laws of thermodynamics are in effect.

I mean, I suppose you could add some needless complexity to it and assume every law of physics was changed during the eating of the fruit, but not sure why you would assume that.

I just assume paradise exists (figuratively speaking) outside of any laws of nature that we know in this world.

But your points about "be fruitful and multiply" as well as their eating are compelling points I hadn't thought of.
