[QUOTE="Hardkaur, post: 94173, member: 2072"] Adam and eve simply could not have existed, furthermore the story does not contain a very good moral lesson. As the story goes God created man in the form of himself ***( now let me just point out sumthing my philosphy teacher once told me and thats is "IF horses could draw God they'd draw God as a horse) ** and created many animals in pairs seeing all the animals with mates man felt alone so from the rib of adam god created woman (which is ironic since it is from woman that man is conceived and born) . God told adam and eve that they could eat what they wanted so long as they did not eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil for when you do you shall sureley die. Eve one day while alone gathering food happened to meet a serpant (satan) who seduced her into eating fruit from the tree of knowledge although she protested that God had told her not to he told her God had said that because by eating the fruit they would become like god and god didnt want that, eve not knowing right from wrong good from evil eats the fruit and "falls". Adam who comes to find eve knows that she will now eventually die and not wanting to live alone without her also eats from the tree as well. The two know become aware of there nakedness and feel ashamed and hide in fig leaves and some stories say that it then that the two give into their lust for each other. The story all in all blames the downfall of humanity on women since she was the one seduced by the devil, however if one were to logically think it through eve was influenced by a devil to eat the fruit, while adam by a mere human. God then punishes adam and eve for not obeying his command by cursing them with hard labour and ain in child birth, and of course they now will eventually die, and all children they produce will also be cursed in the same ways, (in oher words its ok to punish peole for the sins of others). Back to the point about adam and eve being the mother and father of all creation this makes no sense from a biological perspective.
