Over the past couple posts, there has been much discussion about the fall of man legend. So, I figure we can utilize this thread for discourse on the subject.:2razz:
4 streams flow from Eden, and Adam has been constitued to till it. Being mentally debilitated from naming thousands of species of animals, and has a pain in his chest from God knocking him out and stealing a rib from him, he has a catechism, he requests a helper, so God uses one of Adam's ribs and fashions Eve. Being practically alone on this newly trodden planet, it isn't shocking that Eve so desperately tries to find a companion; someone to converse with. So then the serpent makes a cameo appearance and blurts out, "hey girl, this fruit is the ****, it'll make you really smart!" (BTW, God has just looked over his newly formed universe, and deemed it good.) So Eve, eates a piece of fruit from the tree of knowledge (at the request of the snake), she then goes on to add to the felony by offering some to her esposo. Then, God, in a clear exhibition of frustration, proceeds to punish them for exersizing their free will in exploring the planet that he put them on. Anyway, Adam became the world's first snitch, blaming Eve, then she blames the snake. Now for the all round tongue-lashings. First the snake, who has to crawl on his belly forever. God is one tough whippersnapper, as Eve is condemned to give birth in pain, and Adam is sentenced to eat bread with a sweaty face and return to dust. And hardly a suprise, man will rule over women. Adam and Eve have to depart from the paradise as they haven't yet profited enough from the tree of knowledge, and I'm sure God expects them to sample the tree of life next. But God is nervous as usual, and places cherubims with flaming swords to guard the entrance.
