an impossible error in the genesis : Adam and eve
We will not be concerned with issues that reflect ignorance of nature's laws.
We will only mention one issue that makes God commit an error so impossible, that bugles the mind.
Adam & Eve (original sin)
The myth of Adam and Eve is at the base of all the "monotheistic" religions.
This myth tells the story of man falling from grace.
This fall from grace creates the NEED and THE REASON OF EXISTANCE for the three monotheistic religions. They exist to show the path for some sort of return to the grace of God.
Every monotheistic religion has its proper way or rules to do that, but they all share the same reasons for being cast out, and the same desire to return back to some sort of grace.
No need to tell the myth, it is common knowledge.
The impossible error (mentioned briefly earlier) is the following:
Adam and Eve, before eating from the tree of the knowledge of good or evil, could not distinguish good from evil, and consequently could not tell the difference between obedience to God or to the serpent...
They were innocent, blank slates... how could they possibly know that obeying God was good, and obeying the serpent bad, since they had no notion of good and bad.
The "trickery" of the serpent would not be needed for Eve. She could never understand how "being like God" would be "good".
The word "good" had no meaning before eating from the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
They trusted everybody who spoke to them, without exception. They could not know the evil of the serpent from the good of the one God, or the good of obedience to the one God from the evil of obedience to the serpent. That's how God had supposedly made them; Innocent.
This myth does not take into consideration the original innocence (not knowing good and bad) of Adam and Eve before and while committing the original sin.
They leared about Good and evil, right and wrong, obedience and disobedience, AFTER eating the fruit...
But it was too late... Game over, they "died".
How could God punish them for something (evil) they had no notion of?
How could God put them in a position to "die" easily?
It is God who created them innocent. How can He punish them for being exactly as He created them?
It is the same thing as the creator creating giraffes with long necks and then punishing a giraffe for his long neck.
So this myth makes GOD punish and curse Adam & Eve for their original innocence, not original sin, for how God Himself had made them in the first place.
The original sin simply does not exist.
They were kicked out of paradise because the supposed creator was presented as being unable to reason that without the knowledge of good and bad, Adam and Eve could not choose between good and bad, between Him and the serpent, between obedience and disobedience, between saying yes or saying no, ... and giving them "free will" to choose between two things while having no notion of either, would be nonsense...
What becomes now of the "need", "reason of existence" or the foundation of the "THREE GREAT MONOTHEISTIC RELIGIONS"?
Their edifices were built on an impossible error being made to be committed by the LORD God of Abraham of Isaac and of Jacob...
The "reason of existence" of the three great monotheistic religions simply disappears in thin air...
Pouf...
Adam and Eve were condemned to eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil considering their innocence, the existence of the tree and the presence of the serpent.
God commanding them not to eat from the tree and the explanation/warning that they would die if they did, was totally irrelevant and useless, since they did not know good and bad, or if living is good and dying is bad, and God should have known it to be so.
Adam, as he was created, never had a chance.
This story raises another funny issue.
We are told that God never created evil. Nevertheless, He created in paradise, the only source of knowledge of the yet inexistent/non-created evil (again a small problem of anachronism).
Now we know where did the idea for the film "back to the future..." comes from...
Yet again, the tree could only be a "model" of the yet non-existent, non-created "evil", which awaited the innocence of man to be created... and to take the fall...
If that was the plan, it went well...
But,
If this myth is supposed to make us, humans, understand something, then what is it?
