In the Earth was without form and void and darkness was upon the face of the deep

Is this video saying sin and death did not exist in the garden of Eden before Adam and Eve committed sin but reproduction existed which allowed natural selection to function? Would the makers of the video also say the garden of Eden was of a finite size? I’m curious how an expanding volume of life that can’t decrease in size until the fall will fit in such a space? Thank you for your time.

No, there wasn't. No need to have a selector with a perfect genome/environment.

‘By The Fall you mean a piece of imaginative hokum dreamed up humans to explain their origins before they had the tools and imagination to come up with something better?’
‘Yeah’

This answer, of course, based on a materialistic worldview which takes God out of the picture (even though it cites Him). Corruption (change from a greatest good into a lesser good) entered the world with Original Sin. We have absolutely no evidence that corruption (change) was present before the Fall. With the entry of death, change in motion enters in everything. So, no, he is wrong there about this. In Heaven, as it was in Eden, there is no change, there is no corruption. Avoid humans trying to play God.
