Death

      The issue of whether humanity is being continually punished must also be addressed. There is a conception that humanity is still being punished for the sin committed by Adam and Eve. I do not believe this. Adam and Eve were held personally accountable through their banishment in the garden. However, their downfall also allowed genetic degradation, in other words imperfections, as a result of their actions. They passed this potential for genetic imperfection on to their children resulting in the state that we know as death. Death is nothing more than complete genetic shutdown. The body now has a limit to how long it can sustain life. This is not simply about eating an apple but about the dangers of a lack in planning, data collection, and threat analysis. I believe God Punishes each individual for their sins.  

Exodus From Eden

      The role of who caused the fall of humanity to sin has always seemed pointless to me. Humanity fell together. I have heard so many arguments that Eve had sinned first. No, others countered, Adam had failed Eve. This seems more like people are trying to shift  the blame to me. Eve had sinned by being deceived by the serpent and eating the forbidden fruit. Adam had sinned by not using discernment to question Eve as to the origin of the fruit and consuming it. The issue of who sinned first is hardly the point as they were both kicked out of the garden together. This to me represents their mutual guilt and their need to work together in order to survive. If they had worked together in the Garden of Eden this event may never have occured.

Genesis

In the beginning there was nothingness. The Bible and science confirm this position. I believe that this nothingness was perfect oblivion. There was no love nor hate, joy nor sorrow, existence nor non-existence. It just was. This is why I consider it a perfect state. God uttered the sentence, "let there be light," polluting that oblivion. Now the advocates of science may argue that the Big Bang destroyed this state. However, I fail to see how that makes a difference. The state of perfect nothingness was gone for the creation of mortal life and his eternal kingdom. Part of me wonders if this was not done out of selfishness on the part of God.

I believe God made man, including woman, in possibly a lush garden. I'm honestly doubting the Garden of Eden at this point. I mean who puts a tree in the middle of a populated garden that can let an individual gain knowledge about good and evil. This seems like a mistake. I mean wouldn't you put the tree on the outside of the garden. It seems like it would be a lot safer out there to me. Now think about it, if the tree is outside of the Garden of Eden, then Adam and Eve would have had to consciously leave the Garden of Eden to get the fruit. It would be represntative of what was really happening. And, Adam and Eve would not have been admitted back inside for their disobedience.

In addition, if Adam and Eve hadn't of sinned I do not believe we would have been in the Garden of Eden. I mean why would they have children if they did not need them? Adam and Eve were innocent and knew nothing about sex. They gained that knowledge from the tree of good and evil. Children are meant to continue on the lines of their parents. If you do not die you don't have to pass anything down hence no children.

In continuation, why did Eve trust a talking snake? Wasn't she a little suspicious of a possessed serpent? I mean think about it, if I saw a talking cat my first thought would not be, "you make a good point." What did Adam and Eve have, telepathy? And if she did, why couldn't she decypher the serpents plan? Apparently all the animals could speak by the glory of God. Somehow I doubt that. And why would they be unable to speak after the fall?
