However I don't believe that they were created with a sin nature. Wouldn't that mean they were created corrupted?

Yes it would. Either man was created upright or not. Because mankind received a fallen enviroment and other related conditions does not mean he was created with a "sin nature." Given true free choice and temptation means you will fail especially lacking overall knowledge in many respects. Adam and Eve did not need a sin nature to sin. They had motive and opportunity as all are given. I would say yes... if man was born with a "sin nature" which is a one sided view of mankind ability. It would be def be creating a corrupted creature. Natural law cleary teaches reasons why man does what he does and sin nature has nothing to do with it.
