Monday, September 3rd.

“What if they got the story of Adam and Eve wrong?”
“We all know of the classic biblical story, Adam and Eve: the first man and woman, the creation. Adam is placed in the garden of Eden. He is told to eat freely, that he can pick whatever he would like off of any tree...except for one. The tree of knowledge of good and evil should remain untouched. Eve is then made from Adam’s rib. Then suddenly a serpent appears to taunt and convince Eve to pick an apple off of this forbidden tree. Eve then gives some of the fruit to Adam. They are now blessed with knowledge but cursed with the destruction of evil concepts; shame and embarrassment, evil and deceit. God then explains the consequences of their actions and they are thus banished from the garden of Eden. Original sin.”
