Human nature in a controlled environment.
It was not me, it was you.
Very well.
So Eden?
Of course, Eden, I almost forgot.
After Genesis, and its seven days, we found a new description of creation but
made on a completely different way. So much so that, in general, biblical
scholars say it has a different origin, another author, and it was probably
written at another time.
In this new description there is a different line of facts.
Why not read the paragraph and analyze it?
"At the time when Yahweh
God made earth and heaven there was as yet no wild bush on the earth nor had any
wild plant yet sprung up, for Yahweh God had not sent rain on the earth, nor was
there any man to till the soil. Instead, water flowed out of the ground and
watered all the surface of the soil. Yahweh God shaped man from the soil of the
ground and blew the breath of life into his nostrils, and man became a living
being.
"Yahweh God planted a garden in Eden, which is in the east, and there He put the
man He had fashioned.
"From the soil, Yahweh God caused to grow every kind of tree, enticing to look
at and good to eat, with the tree of life in the middle of the garden, and the
tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
"A river flowed from Eden to water the garden, and from there it divided to make
four streams. The first is named the Pishon, and this winds all through the land
of Havilah where there is gold. The gold of this country is pure; bdellium and
cornelian stone are found there. The second river is named the Gihon, and this
winds all through the land of Cush. The third river is named the Tigris, and
this flows to the east of Ashur. The fourth river is the Euphrates. Yahweh God
took the man and settled him in the garden of Eden to cultivate and take care of
it. Then Yahweh God gave the man this command, "You are free to eat of all the
trees in the garden. But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you are
not to eat; for, the day you eat of that, you are doomed to die".
"Yahweh God said, "It is not right that the man should be alone. I shall make
him a helper". So from the soil Yahweh God fashioned all the wild animals and
all the birds of heaven. These He brought to the man to see what he would call
them; each one was to bear the name the man would give it...
