Let’s summarize the ancient and original story of Adam and Eve, and then see how science, archeology, anthropology, and the Bible fit together.
Why should we believe the story?
It first dates back to 8000 to 10,000 BC
Second, it was written, perhaps 1400 BC. C., so it is more than 3400 years old. But why continue to believe it? I mean, why not put it in the fairy tale category like the scientist does?
If we did that, The Epic of Gilgamesh, which dates back to 2700 BC. C. and was written in stone around 1700 a. C., would have to be placed in the same contiguity.
Also, King Arthur, dating back to 400 to 500 AD. C., it was written for the first time by the French in 900 AD. C. and the English in 1100 d. C., more or less.
Also, we would have to put the story of Homer’s Trojan story in that category, and the Vergil part.
What was once a fable, until Troy was unearthed in Asia Minor, or Turkey, in the 19th century.
And now rebuilt halfway through, discovering that it has a history dating back to 2900 BC. C., or almost 5000 years.
What about Napoleon? I am sure that everything I have read is not politically correct!
Maybe it never was?
Or Alexander the Great? 333 BC, or Plato, 400 BC
You see we have to question everything.
The point is that Adam and Eve were real, history has indicated, and they were not a Homo erectus, nor a Neanderthal, nor a Lucy from Africa, they were human beings like you and me in the Garden of Eden that is now in Iraq. .
How can this be if science and physics say otherwise?
We have just discovered Black Holes, still a mystery, and still a quantum theory, which means that it cannot be proven beyond doubt.
We know that there are gravitational waves, just confirmed in 2016. But we have known this for almost 100 years.
We have a theory about wormholes, where if you can find an open one, go through it in an instant, you would be in another universe.
We have now discovered bones in England dating back to 12,000 BC. C., for Homo sapiens, making fires and flint-tipped weapons.
There is a new theory called progressive evolution. That is, under certain circumstances, with the exact mutation implanted, evolution or transformation, or even a metamorphosis, man or animal can acquire a trait and develop it in a few generations, if not decades.
Now we have Star Trek science fiction, they once used cell phones in the 1960s, now we have them.
Our scientists invented powdered orange juice, for use in missions in outer space, a generation ago.
Now let’s go back to Adam and Eve.
History has shown that this legend has stood the test of time.
If Eden existed, it could have been in a bubble, in other words, to get to it you would have to find the entire worm, and it was invisible to the nomadic tribe outside of it.
Furthermore, the tree of knowledge and the fruit in question, metaphorical or not, was a betrayal of God, first by Eve and then by Adam.
I mean: who cares if it was an apple, an orange, a banana, or a fig, it was most likely a fruit, but to tell an 800-page story and put it in a one-page book in Genesis, Lo I will call apple.
As for the tree, maybe it was a tree or an orchard, again, it doesn’t really matter, the intention of the betrayal is important. It could have been a bush!
The wooden horse that portrayed the invasion of Troy, could have been a galloping horse in the skies in sound and theory, and in the background the roar of an earthquake, or similar, who to say.
The main point is that political correctness does not belong to the version, only for scientists. The story will not change one way or another for the reader: Troy was thereafter destroyed by an army, waiting for the storm, or chaos, or the horse, or the earthquake that put Troy 29 meters underground.
Now let’s go back to Adam and Eve.
Here they are in the Garden of Eden, and Satan enters through the wormhole, finds the tree of knowledge, and invites Eve to dinner.
What is the writer of this story really telling us?
In the Book of Job, God told him, “Do you know everything I have in my storm room?”
And Job said “No”
And I believe that God inferred: “I know that you do not know, and you do not know what is behind all this heavy life that I have given you, once a king and now a poor man.”
Why couldn’t Job think ahead and say, “I didn’t think of that”?
Why doesn’t the scientist say that? Instead of trying to prove the unprovable, being the correct answer only to find out a decade or a generation later, they still have to rewrite history.
If you take Adam and Eve out of the equation, you have to take out the Black Holes and the wormholes, and those 100 galixies that we have now discovered behind the Milky Way, because maybe all those galaxies are not galaxies, just suns and stars. , with fragmented matter and scattered everywhere, without borders.
You see, life is simple and complex.
What we do not know, we may not need to know for this time and period.
The angelic force was born in heaven, and they don’t know the whole story either, that’s why when you die, let’s say you are worthy of your salt and you go to heaven, common sense will say angels, and especially your guardian angel will ask you how it was human being.
That brings up another statement: Jesus Christ says in the New Testament, inferring that he is “The Son of Man” more often than “The Son of God.”
Why?
He was proud and excited, and felt that his and his Father’s work was substantial, in the big picture of creation, he liked the phrase, and so should we.
Evolution, is it real or science fiction?
This is something you have to choose from. Some are, and most are not.
Asteroids have hit the earth in the past and thus the extinction of the dinosaurs occurred, but think about it, could you and I live with those great creatures in the 21st century?
There were ice ages, but they created paths for migration through Europe to North America, to South America, to form new civilizations, such as the Inca or Maya, etc.
But let’s go back to Adam and Even.
After being thrown into the Garden of Eden, they came to know the world around them.
Eve left Adam for 130 years, had other children, and returned. And his seed was until the days of Enoch, the seventh of the generation of Adam, and all the way to Noah.
The pigmentation of the skin maybe changed, and the height of the races maybe got taller, and they carried an idea to another generation, so the legends were passed on by word of mouth.
So you can say mutations, and change is always on the move.
When Abraham was born, so was the Jewish nation, around 2000 BC. C., Job is a legend of the Jews, that dates from around 2200 a. C., transmitted.
As is the story of Adam by Moses.
Three percent (3%) of humans have the Neanderthal gene in us, along with the Adamic genes in us, along with those outside the Garden of Eden.
The Neanderthal gene protects us from disease, and the Adam gene leads us to an understanding of God, the spiritual part of our entire constitution, that we need as human beings: the psychological, sociological, spiritual and physical elements within our structure. genetics, embedded in our chromosomes, or DNA, if it’s not there, then we’re subhuman.
Adam, it gave us a lot to think about.
I realize that women, some women would not prefer the part of the Bible that says they came from Adam’s rib.
Adam’s rib, along with the rest of his body, has one thing, that the outer world of the Garden of Eden did not have, and that was the breath of God, in his bone marrow, and now women had it too.
And to close this kind of story, I want to say that God turned around and gave women the privilege of giving birth to humanity, it’s kind of compensation, so I see it that way.
And today is my mother’s day, she went to see the Lord, thirteen years ago, and all I can say about it is that God gave women a great gift.
